Package: systemd
Version: 231-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I have a business laptop for which I do not have root access. The system is configured to suspend when I press the power key. Now I am trying to configure systemd on a user level to lock my screen before the system suspends.

I have a working service file in ~/.config/systemd/user/i3lock.service, like so:

[Unit]
Description=i3lock
Before=sleep.target

[Service]
Type=forking
Environment=DISPLAY=:0
ExecStart=/usr/bin/i3lock -c 000000

[Install]
WantedBy=sleep.target


I can enable the service via the --user option:

brainslug@flexo:~$ systemctl --user enable i3lock
Created symlink /home/brainslug/.config/systemd/user/sleep.target.wants/i3lock.service → /home/brainslug/.config/systemd/user/i3lock.service.


I can start the service via

brainslug@flexo:~$ systemctl --user start i3lock

which immediately locks my screen, so I would think the service file itself is correct and working.


However, when suspending the laptop this does not seem to trigger my service file and my screen remains unlocked on resume.


When I check on the service status, this is what I get:

brainslug@flexo:~$ systemctl --user status i3lock
● i3lock.service - i3lock
Loaded: loaded (/home/brainslug/.config/systemd/user/i3lock.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
      Active: inactive (dead)


FWIW, I am using lightdm and window maker.


Thanks!
