[default-vlvo]

I have the same problem.

I had the same problem. Try to set scaling to 100%. For me that's swaymsg "output \"DSI-1\" scale 1". Change "DSI-1" to whatever swaymsg -t get_outputs says (assuming your on sway) .

I'm experiencing the same issue. A workaround is to open another console and launch gtklock on the wayland display from there.

In my case I can trace the issue to when something tries to launch gtklock while another instance is already running. I'm using v4 on void.

Same issue with gtklock-4.0.0_1 on up-to-date voidlinux. I find that disabling the userinfo-module fixes it.

Also (!) upgrading to gtklock-userinfo-module-4.0.1 fixes it!!

You could create a systemd user service or make a script like this:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

if ! pgrep gtklock &> /dev/null; then
    gtklock
