I do not know if this error message is related to your issue. Please attach the full log file(s) to make sure that we do not miss anything relevant.
Regardless of that, I would suggest to test with another greeter: - install unity-greeter (sudo apt install --no-install-recommends unity-greeter) - move or rename the file /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/60-lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf - reboot or restart lightdm Furthermore, you could boot into the live session of the Xubuntu 18.10 development release, and check if the problem is still present. Note that light-locker needs to be manually started. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of LightDM Gtk+ Greeter Development Team, which is subscribed to lightdm-gtk- greeter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1796374 Title: locking session turns off external monitor Status in light-locker package in Ubuntu: New Status in lightdm-gtk-greeter package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When session is locked display switches from external monitor to laptop screen.
