Hi,
My system seems to be unable to recover from ‘lock screen’, eg:
- I click ‘lock screen’ (or let the power/screen saver do it)
- Screen goes black as expected.
- I click mouse and the screen wakes up and presents me with login dialog.
- I enter my password and hit return.
- The screen goes black and that’s it. There’s a draggable cursor so not everythings dead I guess, but I never get back to the desktop.
Here’s the output of inxi -SCG

I tried changing from light-locker to xfce4-screensaver as suggested by some posts I found from 2020 but have only managed to break the screen lock altogther so far!
Edit: OK, seems this issue has been encountered by another user…which I’d link to but I can’t include links in posts?!?
However, the topic has been locked with the proposed solution ‘reinstall manjaro’ - is this really the only fix for this?
[edit] I did try to affix more comprehensive inxi output, but it got flagged for containing links! Which I doesn’t AFAICT…
Bye,
Mark
