Locking LXDE with lightdm
Hello,
I'm using LXDE and Lightdm. I added "dm-tool lock" to /usr/bin/lxlock. It works, but the unlocked desktop is still available on tty7.
Obviously this is a major security issue.
How do I fix this?
Many Thanks,
DD

That is not a security issue since everybody with physical access to your computer could also use a live system and access your data, UNLESS you encrypt at least /home.

You need to install a locker such as light-locker.

i716, I do use full disk encyption, so it is an issue when the computer is running.
