Status: startuplock 1.1.0: added the same code to /etc/X11/Xsession.d/08startuplock

Code:

$ cat /etc/event.d/startuplock 
start on started hildon-desktop
console none
service

script

proximity_state="`cat /sys/devices/platform/gpio-switch/proximity/state`"

if [ "$proximity_state" = "closed" ]; then
  dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_tklock_mode_change string:"locked"
fi

end script

Currently in case you are starting the phone on the move and have to put it to a pocket you can't be sure that nothing will be clicked accidentally. This script locks the screen on startup in case proximity sensor reports being closed. Plus it can also save some tiny amount of energy in case you are rebooting the phone often.

I'm currently on the move myself, will package it in several hours.

Great I think it's a good idea.

To make it even better (potential for separate package) I think a GUI with a list of checkboxes with optional boottime scripts.

*Proximity Lock on Boot
*Disable Cam key lock on Boot
etc .. etc..

There are many things you can run at boot via upstart.
If we had a list we could make a tickbox style GUI to enable them. This way each user can select which ever is required.

I use this to enable the camera key even if the device is locked. I can then use it for skipping track etc..

This I think will be a bad idea.
I am assuming nokiabot wishes the device auto locks on proximity close all the time and not just at boot time.

I think there is stuff in the repo that can do this (I remember testing something a while ago). The issue is it effects battery life due to polling the prox sensor all the time.

It would appear startuplock is not working for some.
It's got -1 points on testing page.
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...plock/1.1.0-0/

What 's idea behind the new X.session.d part?
Is it not somewhere I would expect to find a program to be adding files.

Thanks for the info

Until proven otherwise I think the tester didn't understand what the package must do and just didn't try to cover the sensor during startup. Any suggestions to improve the description?

It allows to lock the screen much earlier[, the second after unlock code and/or offline mode requests]. It has the same code that's in the event.d folder.
