I am running Sway on Fedora 26 and want my laptop to be locked when I close my screen. I changed
HandleLidSwitch
to lock
in /etc/systemd/logind.conf
and ran systemctl restart systemd-logind
after that. However, closing the lid does nothing.
The lock program I intend to use is Swaylock and I can manually call it by runnig the command swaylock
in a terminal.
How do I make Systemd call swaylock
when it tries to close the screen (as instructed to do in logind.conf
)?
