xscreensaver service don't start

Since a month xscreensaver do not start at starting DE (XFCE4), but only on my laptop. I've added to the userlist in systemctl, as recommended in the wiki, but it still don't start. I can manually start by

systemctl --user start xscreensaver

command, but I can't see this in the list before. I know I can start it as a script in the autostart menu, but I more prefer using the package-given way.

Legend: LOAD   → Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
        ACTIVE → The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
        SUB    → The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.

70 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too.

Re: xscreensaver service don't start

Looks ok, how do you start xfce4?

systemctl --user list-units --type target --state active

(You most likely are simply not reaching the graphical.target)

Re: xscreensaver service don't start

  UNIT           LOAD   ACTIVE SUB    DESCRIPTION
  basic.target   loaded active active Basic System
  default.target loaded active active Main User Target
  paths.target   loaded active active Paths
  sockets.target loaded active active Sockets
  timers.target  loaded active active Timers

Legend: LOAD   → Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
        ACTIVE → The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
        SUB    → The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.

5 loaded units listed.

I start xfce from lightdm what starts as a systemd unit.

Re: xscreensaver service don't start

It's actually more about xfce4 than lightdm, the DM doesn't seem to be supposed to set that level.
