I am currently trying to get the session lock running on my DELL XPS 15.
Everytime I suspend the system it fails and there is an error message telling
me that all session lock tools failed. When booting it already reports a problem with
setuid command (which I don't entirely understand what it means).
I tried configuring my system according to the [guix documentation](https://guix.gnu.org/en/cookbook/en/guix-cookbook.html#Xorg) here but even after installing slock the executable is not in /bin/sloc but in /run/setuid-programs/ so I changed the configuration file like so:
(service screen-locker-service-type
(screen-locker-configuration
(name "slock")
(program (file-append slock "/run/setuid-programs/slock"))))
If anyone has got this running even with another set of screenlockers I would be happy
to adopt. At the moment I am just confused because I am unfamiliar with setuid and the underlying processes happening there in the OS.
