I have tested various de switches but usually have started with vanilla Manjaro (or earlier on xubuntu) - however my current desktop started with a manjaro kde edition - though using my old home directory - so still having fragments of xfce configuration files of my main user in there (though I did axe the panel config file several times). I am currently in kde as I need to get some work done, but I will try to get some log traces of locking to share here soon.ĭoesn’t sound like has. I see the same issues in all systems using lightdm (mainly also Mate and Cinnamon) - so I assume the problem is somewhere in the interplay of systemd/lightdm/light-locker and other involved screensavers. You can ignore the lid-closing in /etc/systemd/nf (make sure to set HandleLidSwitch=ignore) -> this will make the xfce settings regarding lid work. Regarding the lid-closing problem, this is thanks to systemd overriding xfce’s setting. So if you could check on results with different screensavers and also report if your screens really switch off, maybe we can track the problem down a bit more here. light-locker alone has sometimes also the double login effect and tends to completely eat my keyboard so that the only way to login is via console and killing light-locker. I think the preferred one in xfce is nowadays xfce4-screensaver - but that one seems to be not playing nice with multiple monitor setups. Often, both light-locker AND xfce4-scrensaver are running. So as tips to I would suggest, first check which screensaver you are actually using in xfce. It would be nice if we could track down these problems here in the Manjaro community. I have tried using light-locker and xfce4-screensaver each alone and even in combination (that one leads usually to the behavior described by the original post here). These problems with xfce have driven me so bonkers in the last 5+ years (I think they roughly started when everybody started using systemd - I think I got a decent screensaver setup working in xfce once on void linux with slock) that I started using kde plasma in parallel which works regarding screensaver/screenlock and inhibiting even on multi-monitor setups flawlessly (but has lots of other bugs regarding panels and desktop backgrounds that makes the rest in kde much more painful than using xfce). Then the displays turn off after a while but directly turn back on and stay blanked but never turn off again. The problems get massively worse, when you use at least two displays. I can confirm this and other weird behaviors in xfce on Manjaro (but also on vanilla arch and xubuntu). Manually locking the PC makes it wake up with a single input as expected. It’s worth noting that this appears to happen only if the computer locks by itself (so, by timeout) instead of manually. This isn’t really a big deal as you can imagine, but it is somewhat annoying. When you move your mouse or give any sort of input to the machine to wake it up, it sort of flashes and I can see the mouse for a bit, but it doesn’t actually show the loging screen, you have to give it input another time for it to actually show it. However, one would expect that to turn on the screen and be able to login all you have to do is move the mouse, or press a button or something, well this kinda works, but this passes one barrier, of which there’s two. This is the thing:Īfter leaving my computer unused for some minutes, it locks itself and goes to the login screen, perfectly normal stuff, this is something I want it to do, no issue there. Hi, I’m using Manjaro XFCE as the name implies with the lightdm display manager and the webkit2 greeter, although the greeter seems to be irrelevant since the problem was present on the default one too.
