Bug Description

Ran sh -c 'light-locker-command --lock && xfce4-session-logout --suspend' from an Xfce panel launcher after starting 'light-locker --debug' in terminal.

Got black screen, but no suspend, no dialog after mouse move. After switching virtual console I see a dialog asking for administrative password claimed to be needed for suspending IIRC. Later I get error message dialog:
"Received error while trying to log out

GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Operation not permitted"

In Xubuntu 16.04 the bug remains, but I get light-locker lockscreen where I have to give password.

Does this work properly in 18.04? Furthermore, is running light-locker-command manually still needed in your use case?

Seems to work now in 16.04. I use different graphics card and driver now FWIIW.
