Hi everybody,
I just installed light-locker, but got my problems with that.
I already set and alias for xflock4 in my .bashrc, to make whisker work out of the box. However, light-locker wont lock my desktop.
Even "light-locker-command -l" doesn't work. There is no output at all (which, by linux philosophy would mean, everything was ok), but it doesn't lock as well...
Hope you guys have a clue on my problem, why light-locke won't lock me out (:
Best regards
Edit: As fyi I'm using sxlock atm. I can't get light-locker to work.

light-locker-gtk2 is working fine on my Xfce system.
Are you sure light-locker is running? Is it enabled in the Xfce autostart settings?
There is no need for an alias, the better solution is to edit "/usr/bin/xflock4".
Add "light-locker-command --lock" near the other commands.

Hi radioactiveman,
yep. I'm sure light-locker ist running. Running "light-locker-command -l" while light locker is not running is producing the according error output (something like "light locker is not running"). Though, I'm experiencing a behaviour which (for me at least) is difficult to debug. As the programm is behaving as if it is working, but without doing the thing it is supposed to to... Very weird I have to confess...
Thanks for your help so far, very appreciated!

Have you already checked the output of "strace light-locker-command --lock"?

Nope. First time I read of that command. Will try probably tomorrow evening, as I won't be on my machine by then.

Well, the output is pretty huge. Is there something I can grep for?
The last Part is the stuff below. Exiting with 0 would mean "everything ok"...

@smnpl
IIRC it is advisable to put output inside [ code ] [ / code] tags.

Is LightDM itself working correctly?
Which version do you have installed for LightDM and light-locker?
And do you use the GTK2 or GTK3 version?
Offline
LightDM is working fine with GTK3 greeter.
Versions are.. (both from pacman)...
LightDM: 1:1.12.2-1
gtk3 greeter: 1:1.8.6-1
