Bug Description

What happens:

When attempting to start the application from the terminal all I get is a warning then it immediately exits.
I have attempted a reboot but it seems the process does not start with the system nor my user session.

I have removed all screensaver packages and this has not helped the issue.

Output of light-locker --debug:

light-locker = 1.7.0-2ubuntu1
lightdm = 1.18.2-0ubuntu1

My system:

What I expected:

The screen should lock, much the same way as running dm-tool lock from the terminal
