Below is a workaround I use. ********* #!/bin/sh viewnior --fullscreen '/home/user_name/Images/My solid color image which obscures my desktop.png' && sleep 2 && dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.login1 /org/freedesktop/login1 "org.freedesktop.login1.Manager.Suspend" boolean:true && i3lock -i '/home/user_name/Images/My image I like to look at when my computer wakes up.png' -p default -n *********
I lock my screen with a keyboard shortcut I created in Xubuntu which I associated with the above script. After my computer wakes up I need to exit Viewnior (the image viewer I am using) so that the the file called, "My solid color image which obscures my desktop.png" disappears. I suppose the extra step would not be necessary if someone with some technical knowledge would explain how to cause i3lock to exit the image viewer after the computer wakes up. I use "viewnior --fullscreen" instead of "viewnior -f" because the later didn't seem to work in a terminal. I suppose this was a result of my using a French language terminal. Also, if you need to resize your image because you want it to appear centered on the screen, there's no need to install GIMP or any other draw or paint application. I used Google Drawings to resize "My solid color image which obscures my desktop.png" to match my screen size which is 1366 x 768 pixels. I went to File–>Page configuration–>Customize and typed 1366 then 768 and chose pixels. Then I downloaded "My solid color image which obscures my desktop.png" to my local drive. I suppose if the developer(s) of this app were to a detailed explanation of the abovein a message, say the first five times a new image were used in i3lock, it would help new users quickly and easily lock their screen securely and ensure their images were centered on the screen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1280300 Title: Desktop contents displayed on resume, before lock screen is shown Status in gnome-screensaver package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I am running 14.04. When I resume from sleep, the contents of my desktop (including any open windows, emails, etc) are displayed onscreen briefly before the unlock screen is shown. This potentially allows an attacker to view the contents of a locked screen. To reproduce: 1) Suspend a machine, e.g. by closing the lid 2) Resume the machine Expected results: Upon resume, the first thing shown onscreen is the screensaver unlock screen. Actual results: Upon resume, the first thing shown onscreen is the set of open windows that were displayed before the machine was put to sleep. After a second or two, the unlock screen is drawn and you have to enter a password to unlock the machine. This is reproducible on my system.
