Re: Firefox stops the download when ever I use lock screen

There are two ways to lock the screen, one (via bl-exit) uses loginctl, the other (via bl-lock) calls light-locker.

You might try comparing the behaviour after running

loginctl lock-session $XDG_SESSION_ID

vs

light-locker-command -l

That could be it also, I'm gonna try this method sometime this week, but before that I am going to do a complete reinstallation of BL. Thanks!

Found a year old Reddit post the other day: https://www.reddit.com/r/MXLinux/commen … is_locked/ and one of the replies were:

"I'm not certain, but I may have found a solution. My network connection appears to work when the xscreensaver daemon is running and the lock is engaged with "xscreensaver-command -lock" rather than when using the default Xfce desktop locking mechanism.

This leads me to suspect the network and connection issues I've had were due to the default desktop screensaver/lock.

I haven't tested it thoroughly yet, but I've had good results so far with running a network command line ping or wget and then running the xscreensaver lock".

The thread starter's issue is the closest thing, I've managed to find. No one else seems to have experienced the same problem, and the one replying might be on to something.

Re: Firefox stops the download when ever I use lock screen

I have now tried all the methods suggested, and the issue remains, only one I'll have not tried yet is purging LightDM and replacing it with XScreenSaver, but I'm sure that one would work it does in #!++. Might be something with the hardware too, who knows.

Either way running #!++ now on my laptop instead, which I need to be able to use screen lock on from time to time while downloading stuff, and BunsenLabs on my stationary at home.

Thanks for all the replies still, and again great distribution, respect to everyone involved with BL, and who ever made that default dark theme for Beryllium, double thumbs up to you! That one and the Lithium theme are my faves.
