Prupose :
I want to display a monitoring page (like Nagios) on a screen but protect it from accessing the system with a password.
Old time:
For this I used a trasparent screen saver on Windows (https://www.e-motional.com/TScreenLock.html but not OpenSource).
Request:
Does anyone how to perform this on Linux (or Windows with an OpenSource product) ?
If I could start it at boot time it will be must beter.
Transparent Screen Saver / lock
Re: Transparent Screen Saver / lock
I found a solution :
You need to login using Xorg as Windows Manager (and not Wayland as default) : When login to Ubuntu you have a Setting Icon and chose Ubuntu on Xorg).
If you don't use Xorg but Wyland some of the feature are not "locked" !
When you want to have your screen locked with a password but still display the screen activity ; type "xtrlock" in a terminal.
