If ran without sudo (even if excluded in visudo), out put is just a simple version log

This is all it provides if I run it without sudo. Even after I excluded it in /etc/sudoers. If i run it with sudo it provides the expected result.

Gave it root permission, and now it gives the error Cannot retrieve shadow entry. I of course can change it back, but how do I get the behavior I want, which is typing gllock without sudo in front of it locks the computer?

Oh, you have created a THIRD report for your single issue, and still have not provided details that would help others help you, like what distro you're using, or how you've installed, or if the sticky bit is properly set, or what version/revision of gllock you're using.

That output you provide in the first message here is appropriate, even when this is working correctly.

Duplicate of #16.

I have the same issues. Running Xubuntu 19.10 with kernel 5.3.0-24. Installed by cloning the repo and sudo make clean install.

When I run just gllock, I just get that log output and nothing happens. When I run sudo gllock, I see the visual effects. (I then get a Segmentation fault whether I enter a password or just hit enter, but I suppose that's a different issue. But unfortunately, not usable.)

PS: I know there's an open issue, but that repo cannot contain 250MB of images. Makes an otherwise awesome project look very amateurish.
