XSecureLock Saver Slide

A screen saver module for XSecureLock which shows pictures as a slide show.

Building

Requirements

• CMake 3.13 or later
• SDL 2.0
• SDL_ttf 2.0
• OpenCV

Steps

git clone https://github.com/Moandor-y/xsecurelock-saver-slide.git
cd xsecurelock-saver-slide
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
cmake --build .

Then expect the executable to be created at ./xsecurelock_saver_slide.

Using

1. Install the executable together with the included auth_ modules (default location: /usr/local/libexec/xsecurelock/helpers) and name it saver_slide. (See XSecureLock - Writing Your Own Module)
2. Pass XSECURELOCK_SAVER=saver_slide by environment variables.
3. (Optional) Pass XSECURELOCK_SAVER_SLIDE_LIST_IMAGES_COMMAND=<your command> if you want to provide your own command to list all images to be shown. Defaults to find ~/Pictures -type f -name '*.png'. There must be at least 2 images found by this command, otherwise the program will crash.
4. (Optional) Pass XSECURELOCK_SAVER_SLIDE_FONT_COMMAND=<your command> if you want to provide your own command to find the font used to display date and time. Default to find /usr/share/fonts -name 'NotoSans-Regular.ttf'. A TTF font must be found by this command, otherwise the program will crash.

See the installation and options of XSecureLock for more information.
