That's the workaround I used, anyway. There may well be a simpler one :) Cheers, Daniel

Here they say that the default greeter (lightdm-gtk-greeter) of light-locker shoud be changed to a different greater, eg slick-greeter https://github.com/the-cavalry/light-locker/issues/114#issuecomment-474709454 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1801609/comments/27 So no need to install any other locker like I mentioned above.

The qucik workaroud here is to use a different lock screen, eg: - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/XScreenSaver#DPMS_and_blanking_settings - https://github.com/xfce-mirror/xfce4-screensaver - https://github.com/muennich/physlock - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Slock In this thread they also suspects intel driver as the base problem: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=929834#51

I don't have l3lock. If I try to purge light-locker, Lubuntu tries to uninstall XFCE and install Gnome in its place :( Is there a bug filed with Intel?

Hi Brian, what I did to fix the problem was "apt-get purge light-locker". There might be one other aspect important in the context of this bug report: I have and have had i3lock handle the screen locking. It could be that the problems that I saw had also to do with the fact that light-locker and i3lock were interfering with each other in trying to lock the screen: $ cat /etc/systemd/system/i3lock.service [Unit] Description=i3lock Before=sleep.target [Service] User=MY_USER_NAME_HERE Type=forking Environment=DISPLAY=:0 ExecStart=/usr/bin/i3lock [Install] WantedBy=sleep.target #systemctl enable i3lock.service Is your system configured similarily? *t On Wed, 5 Jun 2019, Brian Doherty wrote: Sure!
