Losing session when screen is locked

xflock4 is what I use to lock my screen manually.
I disabled light locker for now. We'll see tomorrow.

xflock4 is just a xfce4-wrapper script and calls light-locker. The command issued to lock is

Code: Select all

light-locker-command --lock

My bad, I meant I disabled the automatical lock of the session by Light Locker, see attached image.

12 hours in suspend – no new session.
Another hour in manually locked session – no new session.

I hope this time it'll stay this way. Thank you again for your help.

It is working flawlessly now. Thank you very much!

I cannot see anything on that screenshots just some white blank.
Anyway. Would uninstalling xscreensaver change the situation, and potentially also clearing any saved sessions. Not sure whether the newer version xfce4-settings from mx test-repo would help.
If you have teamviewer as daemon running, I would probably also try to disable the teamviewer daemon, as I remember I had quite some issue with having it permanently running. I'm using teamviewer not very often, so it make no sense to me to have it permanently running, when it also makes some issue when shutting down or wake up.

FI: I'm using teamviewer not very often too, so:

Code: Select all

sudo teamviewer --daemon disable # disable teamviewer service
Manually:
sudo /opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/teamviewerd -d # to enable teamviewer service
...
Then to launch:
/opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/script/teamviewer

sudo killall teamviewerd # to kill

If AnyDesk cannot be used I use the following teamviewer desktop starter,
while having disabled to start teamviewerd as service during boot:

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=Application
Categories=Network;

Name=TeamViewer 12
#Name=TV12_initD
Comment=Remote Support with Teamviewer
#Exec=/opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/script/teamviewer
Exec=sh -c '( sudo /etc/init.d/teamviewerd status | grep -q running ) || sudo /etc/init.d/teamviewerd start ; /opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/script/teamviewer ; sudo /etc/init.d/teamviewerd stop'

# This icon might be overridden by other icon themes (e.g. breeze).
#Icon=teamviewer

# This icon should always be the default TeamViewer icon.
Icon=TeamViewer
Path=
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=true

Togethether with this teamviewer sudoers-file:

Code: Select all

# sudoers file for start/stop teamviewerd
 
%sudo ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /etc/init.d/teamviewerd

Allow two quick ninja questions:

1 - "AnyDesk" couldn't find it in MXIP or Synaptic. Are you guys using some different version/name or I missed it? Is this your preferred remote desktop software for MX?

2 - How do you run / what you do with sudoer file? Is this *.sh file that have execution right and you click on it upon demand? Or has to be run through cli? If so, how?

Probaly AnyDesk is not yet within MX Popular Apps, because nobody have yet requested it. That's it.

2 - How do you run / what you do with sudoer file? Is this *.sh file that have execution right and you click on it upon demand? Or has to be run through cli? If so, how?

Ahh, ok sorry. Thats an important part, which I missed to post:
To enabale a password-less start / stop of teamviewer using sudo,
the sudo-password policy need to be placed in a sudoers-file .
To create a file it is imortant to use a special sudoers-editor,
as otherwise any mistake with that policy can creat lot#s of issues.
So the safest way to apply this sudoers-policy is to use the sudoers-editor visudo.
To create this teamviewer sudoers-policy do this:
Within command line type:

Code: Select all

sudo visudo -f /etc/sudoers.d/teamviewer

You will probably see the default terminal editor nano get opened with an empty file.
Now paste the content of this:

Code: Select all

#
# sudoers file for start/stop teamviewerd passwordless
#
# filename : /etc/sudoers.d/teamviewer
#
%sudo ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /etc/init.d/teamviewerd

Into the editor. To write and close: Press Ctrl+X , Type y ( for yes to save) and Enter
The policy becomes immediately active.
