It magically fixed itself somehow. The message
>Property "/general/LockCommand" does not exist on channel "xfce4-session".
still stays, but the lock command functions again. *shrug*
Still the same xfce4-session version, but maybe a powercycle thingie.
I grepped around in source a bit, found that it invokes xflock4, and so I straced that to get an idea if there are subordinate commands being run, which they are: > "xfconf-query", "-c", "xfce4-session", "-p", "/general/LockCommand" > Property "/general/LockCommand" does not exist on channel "xfce4-session". That's where that comes from. Also: > "xfce4-screensaver-command", "--lock" > ** Message: 09:18:32.054: Screensaver is not running! Start xfce4-screensaver first The reason this message does not show up in .xsession-errors is because it goes to stdout instead of stderr. And that's then the reason the lock button did not work. Now, to find out why the xfce4-screensaver background process didn't start… |
Version: 4.18.3-1.2.x86_64 xfce4 taskbar, if you choose the "Lock screen" action, nothing happens. Instead, a line is emitted to ~/.xsession-errors: Property "/general/LockCommand" does not exist on channel "xfce4-session". This seems recent; I believe this might have been introduced with the 2023-08-14 Tumbleweed update, though I recognize the xfce4 last changelog entry is from 2023-07-04. I'll try to gather more details.
