Lock screen on suspend/hibernate

[Gullible Jones]

Is it possible to make lxsession or lxsession-lite lock the screen (e.g. via xscreensaver-command --lock) on suspend or hibernation? This strikes me as kind of an essential requirement for privacy and whatnot, so I figure there has to be some way to do it...

Anyone?

gnome-screensaver locks screen after resuming from suspend launched by means configured in gnome-power-preferences.

Right click on desktop and create new text file with name: "lockscreen.desktop"

Right click on the file and open with "leafpad"

now paste thefollowing code into it and save it.

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Lock Screen
Comment=Locks your screen
Icon=xscreensaver
Exec=xscreensaver-command -lock
Terminal=false
Type=Application

That creates launcher for manually locking screen, but the question was if this can be done automatically after resume from suspend.

I suppose one could make a custom hook that runs screen lock on resume, see http://en.opensuse.org/Pm-utils#Creating_your_own_hooks for instructions.
