Thanks for the heads up. It's been a looooong time since I last used slim/slimlock, and I'm actually surprised this package is still getting used by anyone. The 1.3.6 code was too far bitrotted to compile these days, but fortunately it turns out there was a fork that released updated versions (which also fail to compile without patches...).

I've updated both the package and the dependencies.

depends needs to be changed (libjpeg):

Can you please change

  • dependendy libjpeg to libjpeg-turbo (any maybe existing make dependency libjpeg needs also to be changed to libjpeg-turbo),
    or maybe more elaboreate,
  • dependencies libjpeg to libjpeg.so AND add make dependency libjpeg-turbo?

Reason: Arch Linux does not have libjpeg anymore, and libjpeg-turbo stopped to declare libjpeg in it's provides array.

Regards and thanks for maintaining!

Neither. This is just the standalone screenlocking component of slim from [extra].

So does this handle logins as well or do I need to startx?

Oops, my bad! Fixed now.

@WorMzy,

Whoops! You made it install to /eetc/pam.d !

If you have trouble with slimlock after updating to pambase 20190105.1-1, this is because of a change to the PAM base config:

https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/pambase&id=3552aba772e8bebbe754a4d01f2729e291dd2070

Create /etc/pam.d/slimlock with the following:

#%PAM-1.0
auth  required  pam_unix.so

It conflicts with slim because the slim package comes with slimlock. This package is for people who just want the screenlocking program, and not the login manager.

I don't understand. Why does this conflict with slim? How will I be to use slim if this conficts with it.
