Similar situation. Upgraded to xubutnu 20.04 LTS. My primary use of this
system is ssh and RDP as I'm rarely in the same room. There is a monitor
attached, so removing light-locker is insecure.

FYI, I have Ubuntu 20.04 installed and everything was going well with
xrdp. Then I installed xubuntu. When I log in with xfce session, I
cannot type the password remotely. But now is good. For me, removal of
light-locker and disable screensaver are solutions.

I have a lubuntu with xfce4 installed. And it's worse. It doesn't accept
passwords. But you can just click "new login" and get logged in without
any password.

Hi, I have upgraded two machines from Xubuntu 18.04 to 20.04 using the
’do_release_upgrade’ command.
The strange thing is, I have the same problem on the laptop (fresh
install of 18.04), but not on the desktop machine (upgraded from 16.04
to 18.04).
Not sure, if this insight provides any help...
Hello, I am adding my experience. The same problem, it was temporarily
solved by disabling screensaver but now I must turn my laptop off every
single time. Fresh install of Xubuntu 20.

I finally got the upgrade prompt yesterday. I wanted a stable 18.04 ->
20.04 upgrade so I waited for it to be officially ready. All seemed
flawless except after suspending I couldn't log back in.
Removing light-locker and reinstalling xfce4-screensaver did fix it.

password prompt that could not accept input.
Have purged light-locker, will see how that fares.

I recently added two Ubuntu 20.04 servers to my existing Ubuntu machines
in the lab, and started experiencing something similar to this reported

Same issue here.
I am guessing xfce4-screensaver should conflict with and remove light-
locker when its installed as suggested in a comment above.
Updated from Ubuntu + Xfce (xubuntu-desktop) 18.04 -> 20.04.1. Used work
around like Craig above, and disabled lock part in xfce4-screensaver.

Apologies I didn't realize I can't edit my post. I upgraded from 18.04
and just hit confirm on every prompt during the upgrade. This was not a
clean install to 20.04 directly

In either case please fix this before many people do LTS upgrades
(20.04.1).
The double lock where no password can be typed in is nasty.

That's interesting, thank you for your reply. I think that adding the
light-locker package to the Conflicts: field of xfce4-session package in
Ubuntu 20.04 would fix this. On the other hand, it seems a bit too
strict - one may want to use light-locker instead of xscreensaver and
this would make
The file /etc/xdg/autostart/xscreensaver.desktop belongs to the xfce4-session
package, see
/var/lib/dpkg/info/xfce4-session.conffiles
On a fresh Xubuntu 20.04 installation the light-locker package is not
installed, that would explain why not more people are affected by this.

The bug may be related to
https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16140. However, it seems that
they have resolved it by removing xscreensaver and I don't have
xscreensaver installed. On the other hand, I have light-locker installed
- this may be causing a similar conflict.
