Package: lightdm Version: 1.10.3-3 Followup-For: Bug #780025 In #780024 I discovered the failured the root cause of my inability to lock the screen was that I did not have xscreensaver installed and did not replace it with an alternative screen locker. It appears that light-locker is the appropriate alternative for lightdm. But dm-tool(1) doesn't mention or cross-reference via SEE ALSO light-locker(1). I think it should, since without it, "dm-tool lock" just looks broken.
After installing light-locker, logging out and logging in, this is the new behaviour I observed if I trigger a screen lock (either via lxpanel > lxsession-logout > Lock Screen, or via 'dm-tool lock'): 1. A new VT is opened for the locker dialog on vt8. 2. If I ctrl-alt-f7 to go back to vt7, a message telling me the session is locked and I'll be redirected in a few sessions is displayed. After waiting a few seconds, I am redirected back to the locker dialog on vt8. Therefore, I'm retitling this bug and dropping severity to minor, as it is simply a doc problem now. Please also consider if lightdm should at least have Suggests: light-locker.
