Re: swaylock does not accept my correct password and fails to unlock

What module provides screen-locker-service-type?

I had already tried to add that entry but after reconfiguring I get:

I faced the same issue some time ago, not sure when. Indeed the issue was with swaylock complaining about setuid. My system configuration contains the following simpler entry, which uses screen-locker-configuration: (operating-system ... (services (cons* ... (service screen-locker-service-type (screen-locker-configuration (name "swaylock") (program (file-append swaylock "/bin/swaylock")) (using-pam? #t) (using-setuid? #f))) ... %desktop-services)) ... ) -- Emmanuel
