swaylock ext-session-lock-v1

[teclab]

Hi All,

I am on Debian 12.5 Bookworm

Code: Select all

Display: wayland server: X.Org v: 1.22.1.9 with: Xwayland v: 22.1.9
    compositor: gnome-shell v: 43.9 driver: dri: swrast gpu: vmwgfx

I tried/compiled few locking tools (swaylock, waylock, gtklock) only to see that ext-session-lock-v1 is not supported.
I installed wayland-protocols which includes ext-session-lock in /usr/share/wayland-protocols/staging/

I have been told that something is wrong with the compositor: https://github.com/swaywm/swaylock/issues/348
But here I am a total noob.

I thought gnome-shell is my compositor?
How can I enable this ext-session-lock?
Do I need to recompile gnome-shell?

Thank You!
