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

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.

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

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.

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.
HTH
