cwall64 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Does anybody have a resolution to get the screen saver lock to work? I have three nicely working OSx86 installs, with sleep and everything working great - but I just noticed that the screen saver lock nor the lock from adding keychain access to the menu bar do not lock the desktop (it starts the screen saver). I have and old powerbook and Mac Pro that have 10.5.6 and lock works on both of them? On my OSx86's I only have 12 modified kexts: /Extra/Extensions.mkext contains AppleDecrypt.kext AppleHDA.kext HDAEnabler.kext IntelCPUPMDisabler.kext JMicronATA.kext LegacyAppleAHCIPort.kext LegacyAppleIntelPIIXATA.kext LegacyIOAHCIBlockStorage.kext LegacyJMicronATA.kext VoodooPower.kext /System/Library/Extensions contains AppleSMBIOSEFI.kext RealtekR1000.kext Anybody have any thoughts? Directions to look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jboehm Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I added this line to the end of my /etc/rc.common file and reboot and it fixed the problem defaults -currentHost write com.apple.screensaver askForPassword -int 1 If Apple changes the /etc/rc.common file during an update you may have to do this again. Basically this line executes on startup for all users. Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
