light-locker fails to lock screen

[Lars Bahner]

When setting light-locker to lock screen after screensaver is activated, light-locker doesn't actually lock the screen. It blacks the screen, but doesn't lock.

When setting light-locker to lock when screensaver is deactivated, the light-locker fails to black the screen, screensaver is never enabled and the "blank screen after" is reset to "never" and nothing happens.

In either case it's impossible to have the screen locked, in the second case even the screensaver is disabled.

So installing and enabeling light-locker, you would expect your screen to be safe, when you leave it and the screen is supposed to be locked.

Hi, looking at your package dependencies, there are a bunch of "oibaf" originating packages in the display stack. Can you confirm that you see the same behavior on a system with packages solely originating from the Ubuntu archive?

Thanks.
