Lock Tmux Session With Vlock

Question

I have just installed tmux and vlock. When I try to perform the lock-session command, my terminal flashes and then nothing happens. Is there something in my .tmux.conf that must be added to tell tmux that I have a locking utility? If so, what is it?

In other words:

How can I do lock-session with tmux?

Solution 1

Put the following in the .tmux.conf:

set-option -g lock-command vlock

Solution 2

I have the following tmux.conf lines:

# Enable locking
set -g lock-command vlock
set -g lock-after-time 0 # Seconds; 0 = never
bind L lock-session

Pressing [prefix] + L (capital) locks my session.
