[arch-general] [solved] xflock4 password validation fails - Was: xflock4 and pambase

[Ralf Mardorf]

I just noticed this:

$ pacman -Qi xfce4-session | grep -A 4 Optional\ Deps | tail -2
                  xlockmore: for locking screen with xflock4 [installed]
                  slock: for locking screen with xflock4 [installed]

It's indeed xlock, that is and should be used by xflock4, furthermore
xlock suffers from the validation failure, too.

Btw. I noticed it because I run something posted by Ralph Corderoy [1].

$ pactree -ld1 -r pam | sed 1d | xargs -rtn1 pkgfile -l |& egrep $'\t''/etc/pam\.d/.|^pkgfile' | tail -1
pkgfile -l xlockmore

So I tested

$ sudo cp -ai /etc/pam.d/cinnamon-screensaver /etc/pam.d/xlock

and this actually solved the issue for xlock, as well as for xflock4 :).

I'll file a bug report against xlockmore later.

Regards,
Ralf
