For those on XFCE, gnome-screensaver won't lock on idle – it requires gnome-session running in order to do that: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5927
A more permanent "solution" for XFCE users is to sudo apt-get purge light-locker sudo apt-get install xscreensaver # To make the "switch users" button know that you use lightdm: echo 'xscreensaver.newLoginCommand: dm-tool switch-to-greeter' >> ~/.Xresources The downside is that you have to enter your password twice when you do "switch users" to an already logged-in user. ** Bug watch added: Xfce Bugzilla #5927 https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5927 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1568604 Title: Mouse cursor lost when unlocking with Intel graphics Status in xf86-video-intel: Fix Released Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Cursor is visible at unlock screen either after returning from suspend or just locking. After unlocking screen cursor is invisible. Changing to vt1 then back to vt7 (ctrl+alt+f1 then ctrl+alt+f7) cursor returns ==================== no matter if you suspend or sleep, to swap or disk when you return from it, the mouse cursor is missing. you can still move the mouse and you can see (because it highlights the window) as you move it around. But the cursor is not displayed on the screen. i am using a lenovo W540 laptop. I downloaded the latest beta on april 8 2016. this is xubuntu using the xfce window manager. the cursor does return if i log off and log back in, but that actually defeats the purpose of going to sleep. --- ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-04-08 (2 days ago) InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Beta amd64 (20160323) NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_uvm nvidia_modeset nvidia Package: light-locker 1.7.0-2ubuntu1 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_US TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-18.34-generic 4.4.6 Tags: xenial Uname: Linux 4.4.0-18-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: _MarkForUpload: True To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1568604/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
