Lock screen
Seems it is not included in porteus_4 -- it is in 3.2.2
However you need the xlockmore-5.46-x86_64-1.txz package.

But that's not enough, you also need
libMagickCore-6.Q16.so.2 which is in imagemagick-6.9.4_9-x86_64-1.txz

and
libwmflite-0.2.so.7 in package libwmf-0.2.8.4-x86_64-6.txz

Extract the needed files or activate the whole package.
(convert to xzm first)

adjustments can be made in /etc/X11/app-defaults/Xlock - i think

A keyboard shortcut to lock the screen can be made at
settings > keyboard > Application Shortcuts

Download the packages at
https://packages.slackware.com/
( slackware 14.2 )

@brokenman,
Could you please help me to add [solved] to thread title? Due to some reason I don’t have the edit button for my first post. Thank you.
