Package: lxsession Version: 0.5.1-2 Followup-For: Bug #780024 After direct examination of the source, I discovered lxsession-logout calls lxlock to perform the "Lock Screen" function. In turn, the lxlock helper script man page tells me:
lxlock is a simple script to lock the session, using third application. It currently those applications, in this order (try the next one if the application is not available): light-locker xscreensaver gnome-screensaver slock xlock i3lock I should not have to go to the source to discover this. Please cross-reference lxlock(1) in SEE ALSO: for lxsession-logout(1). Check any other helper scripts lxsession-logout calls and make sure they are cross-referenced too. Once I installed light-locker (for which there is not even a Suggests of any package in lxde, nor lightdm itself), locking is restored, so I'll lower this to minor and retitle. I guess my originally reported issue (not being able to lock the screen) was a consequence of some restructuring of the lightdm package, as I do not use, nor have any desire to use xscreensaver, which is the default locker for LXDE in Debian (though interestingly, lxlock seems to prefer light-locker, listing it first). Any user making the same decision I did (dump the unnecessary xscreensaver in preference for the lighter, "just lock the screen and nothing else" light-locker ought to be directed to the appropriate documentation for setting that up. Admittedly, if I had tried this, I might have found it: $ apropos lock | grep -i lx lxlock (1) - locking utility for LXDE However, a cross-reference from the "obvious" starting point of lxsession-logout(1) (or if you started at lxpanel(1), there's a chain of xrefs via lxsession(1) to get here) would make the discovery process easier.
