Hi all,
I'm unable to lock my screen via clicking the whiskermenu's Lock Screen button.
When I look under Settings -> Power Manager (xfce4-power-manager-settings), there is a tab Security which mentions Light Locker, however the Panel -> Items -> Whisker Menu -> Commands tab shows `xflock4` as the command being used. When I enter the command in a terminal, nothing happens, there doesn't appear to be `man xflock4` of `xflock4 --help`, so I'm not sure why it isn't locking.
Investigating Light Locker (not sure this is relevant):Since I'm running XFCE, I'm not sure the XDG_SESSION_PATH should be set at all and whether Light Locker is relevant at all in my case.
What can I do to debug the issue?
Thanks for your time.
