Bug Description
[Summary]
Instead to light-locker-

[Test Case]
Steps to reproduce
------------------
1. Boot Lubuntu 18.04 (installed from an older iso, not 18.04.2)
2. Login
3. Delete ~/.config/
4. Logout
5. Login
6. Press CTRL-ALT-L

------------------

Current behaviour

[Other Info]
Lubuntu uses another desktop environment from version 18.10 onwards. The only version, which contains the patched file is 18.04. The Lubuntu Team does not support Xenial anymore (16.04 has reached its end of life after 3 years of community support).
