xfce4 will not lock screen after resume from hibernate/suspend

There have been a lot previous threads about this issue.

I cannot fix it. Furthermore, it's somewhat confusing.

Since this is a single user system (literally), I can get away with a systemd powered hack:

[Unit]
Description=Lock screen before switching power state
Before=sleep.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/sudo -u gebruiker xscreensaver-command -lock

[Install]
WantedBy=sleep.target

Is this a bug? Anyone who can report this functionality works?. I have:

• xflock4 installed and working

• xscreensaver installed and working

• systemd working properly

• no errors in ~/.xsession-errors

• both config items ticked in

• - xfce4-session

• - xfce4-power-manager

Anyone?

Re: xfce4 will not lock screen after resume from hibernate/suspend

Anyone who can report this functionality works?

Using the first option from the xscreensaver wiki article:

[Unit]
Description=Lock X session using xscreensaver
Before=sleep.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/xuserrun /usr/bin/xscreensaver-command -lock

[Install]
WantedBy=sleep.target

...in conjunction with:

both config items ticked in
- xfce4-session
- xfce4-power-manager

...and fade to and fade from disabled, works here for me.

Re: xfce4 will not lock screen after resume from hibernate/suspend

Thanks for your effort. But I was more looking for a way of doing this without SystemD as this can be handled nicely by XFCE itself. I have seen that on Ubuntu and Gentoo.

Something is wrong with the package configuration I guess.
