Public bug reported:
Similar to bug #10228, I'm currently unable to lock the screen with
xscreensaver. Ctrl-Alt-L does nothing, and `xscreensaver-command -lock`
reports "xscreensaver-command: already locked."
<http://askubuntu.com/questions/120691/xscreensaver-already-locked>.
I've tried the following to get it back up:
$ killall xscreensaver # Returned with exit code 0
$ xscreensaver-command -lock
xscreensaver-command: no screensaver is running on display :0
$ xscreensaver-command -restart
xscreensaver-command: no screensaver is running on display :0
$ xscreensaver
xscreensaver: 14:22:19: "gnome-screensaver" is already running on display :0
(window 0x3a00001)
$ xscreensaver-command -lock
xscreensaver-command: no screensaver is running on display :0
Looks like there might be some conflict between gnome-screensaver and
xscreensaver. I've no idea why gnome-screensaver is running - I'm
running LXDE and xscreensaver by default.
Workaround: gnome-screensaver-command --exit && xscreensaver &
