I am trying to setup betterlockscreen on my Ubuntu 22.10 running nix (so a standalone nix install, outside of nixos).
However, I cannot find how to make it work. When typing my password, even very carefully, it does not unlock.
Reading a bit what’s behind, I found that betterlockscreen
is using i3lock-color
, itself being a fork of i3lock
.
I tested both tools in a nix shell and the same issue happens with both.
It does not happen when running the stock i3lock
installed with apt-get
.
After some reading, I found that other topic, reporting issues with PAM.
I can confirm that my channels are up-to-date with 22.11.
I also inspected an exection of i3lock-color
using strace
and the program is correctly looking at the file /etc/pam.d/i3lock, as the stock i3lock
is.
Being out of ideas on how to continue, I turn to you community, in case someone already solved that issue.
Many thanks
