This probably means that the swaylock-effects process crashed and the session lock protocol is probably not used or there’s some bug in the compositor because the mouse shouldn’t work either. Which Wayland compositor (e.g. Sway) do you use and which version?

[niksingh710]

I use Hyprland v0.27.2

Well, I’ve looked into Hyprland issues and that compositor is so buggy that there’s a good chance it’s a bug in Hyprland, not in the swaylock effects. I’m still on Sway 1.7, which doesn’t implement the session lock protocol, but I’m about to upgrade to Sway 1.8, so I’ll see how it behaves with session locking and multi-monitors after that.

that compositor is so buggy

sway has almost twice as many open bug reports :)

but it might be and most likely is an issue on my side, but I can't test multimon stuff atm (on holiday)
