Hi!

I just installed the xscreensaver package in Xfce and added it to
autostart.  I also enabled the screen lock from the xscreensaver-demo
window.  Now, if I manually run xflock4 or leave the computer alone for
a couple of minutes the screensaver starts and when I move the mouse the
unlock box appears with this text:

XscreenSaver 5.35
My hostname
Authentication failed!
My username
[OK]

Any keyboard or mouse button input just closes the unlock box and the
screensaver resumes.  I'm able to escape, however, by pressing
ctrl+alt+F2 to open a new TTY from where it's possible to log in and
shut down the computer.

Albin

I am sad to learn that you had switched to another system.


Well, because it was tagged 'moreinfo' on Monday April, 18th 2016 --
almost 4 years ago -- and the last activity was on May, 23rd 2016; and
the user that reported the issue -- probably local to their own
configuration -- does not run Guix anymore; and because the screen
locking service seems working elsewhere, then I am closing this bug.


Fell free to reopen it if you hit it again.


All the best,
simon
