Implements a C-ABI PAM shared library that registers a pam_set_data cleanup callback to detect auth failures and spawn/kill ahfail-display via a double-fork, without ever touching credentials.
Ah ah ah, you didn't say the magic word
This gtklock module listens for failed unlock attempts and recreates Dennis Nedry’s “ah ah ah” lockout scene from Jurassic Park.
- Animation: Spawns a looping "Nedry" sprite at a random location on the screen.
- Audio: Plays the "ah ah ah, you didn't say the magic word" clip.
- Safety: Sprites avoid overlapping a configurable "deadzone" (e.g., your login box).
- Performance: Uses pre-warmed audio players for low latency and scaled images to fit any screen.
Requirements
- Build: Meson, Ninja, Rust (Cargo), GTK+3 development headers.
- Runtime:
gtklock,gstreamer,gst-plugins-base,gst-plugins-good(for audio playback).
Build & Install
-
Install Dependencies (Arch Linux example):
sudo pacman -S meson ninja rust gtk3 gstreamer gst-plugins-base gst-plugins-good gst-libav -
Build:
meson setup builddir meson compile -C builddir -

Usage
Run gtklock with the module path:
gtklock -m /usr/lib/gtklock/ahfail-module.so
Arguments
-
--deadzone=X,Y,W,H: Defines a rectangle where sprites will not spawn (e.g., to keep your password field visible).gtklock -m ahfail-module.so -- --deadzone=860,440,200,200(Note the
--separator before module arguments) -
--audio-uri=URI: Override the default audio clip.gtklock -m ahfail-module.so -- --audio-uri=file:///home/user/custom.mp3
Development
- Run Tests:
cargo test - Benchmarks:
cargo test --test benchmarks -- --nocapture - Linting:
cargo clippy
Customization
To change the default sprite or audio:
- Replace files in
