4.1RC2 bug: can't lock screen

MitchJ · December 9, 2021, 6:08pm

I tried it both the key combination and the GUI menu option.

What key combo and which GUI option?

ctrl+alt+l

panel: “user” → “Lock Screen”

This session is seems to work.

unman · December 10, 2021, 4:17pm

Not much of an Xfce user, but just switched over to it, and both are
working for me.
What screen saver/locker are you using?

MitchJ · December 12, 2021, 4:10pm

The default. I didn’t change anything.

What worked for me was

$ xss-lock xflock4

Then, from journalctl

dom0 dbus-daemon[5999]: [session uid=0 pid=5978] Activating service name='ca.desrt.dconf' requested by ':1.3'

I was asked if I want to start it, and eventually

dom0 dbus-daemon[5999]: [session uid=0 pid=5978] Successfully activated service 'ca.desrt.dconf',

screenlock worked again on CTRL+ALT+l/DELETE.
