Public bug reported:
xfce4-screensaver started not enabling after the 'Saver Timeout' would
be past. At some point I removed light-locker as per one of comments in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-screensaver/+bug/1875025
as I have having password unlock issues.
To give some background - I did an upgrade from 16.04 to 18.xx and then
to 20.04 LTS.
Ever since then I believe xfce4-screensaver hasn't behaved properly. My
laptop will be idle and it sometimes works (xfce4-screensaver sometimes
enables and sometimes not). I still cannot find when it works and when
it doesn't. I sometimes have to shutdown xfce4-screensaver and restart
it. When I do this and to try and debug this I have been running:
'xfce4-screensaver --no-daemon --debug 2>&1| tee
xfce4-screensaver.debug'.
Attached is that file from the last couple of days.
My xfce4-screensaver options are:
SCREENSAVER tab:
- Enables Screensaver: ON
- Activate screensaver when computer is idle: ON
- Regard the computer as idle: 2min
- Inhibit screensaver for fullscreen applications: ON
LOCK SCREEN tab:
- Enable Lock Screen: OFF
