Bug#1077277: xfce4-settings: screen locked but lockscreen invisible after suspend
Package: xfce4-settings
Version: 4.18.3-1+b1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
The lockscreen after suspend is not reliable. Sometimes it is shown,
sometimes it isn't, but the screen is always locked. Sometimes my apps
are showing, no indication of the lockscreen, but mouse clicks, etc.
don't work. The screen is, and it really acts as if, the screen is locked.
If I type my passowrd and hit "enter", the screen is usable again. This
behavior of it not showing has caused me to write my passowrd and send
it in places I'd rather not to :(.
This problem seems to be caused because xfce4-settings is compiled with
upower-glib support[1]. The linked answer explains the problem, but this
other answer explains just how to recompile the debian package disabling
upower-glib support[2]. Please note the third answer too, as some
reported to disable it in another way[3] to do the trick (maybe it was
using versions that didn't disable it by default yet?).
The bug is also reported upstream[4] and upstream disabled compiling
with upower-glib by default 3 years ago[5].
Can you please disable upower-glib support in the debian package?
Best,
Rodrigo
