I don't have enough information to judge here. What I see is that the xscreensvaer logo appears twice, i.e. when the lightdm screen comes and when the xsession starts. When I check on the process list briefly in those first seconds, there is: lightdm 4881 0.2 0.0 18924 5936 ? Ss 11:44 0:00 \_ xscreensaver lightdm 4959 0.0 0.0 5716 1064 ? SN 11:44 0:00 | \_ xscreensaver-systemd So not running as user. And that process is terminated soon. And what happened with the second appearence of the logo? This looks like an aborted start of xscreensaver. Is this maybe lightdm failing to stop its instance in time so xscreensaver cannot attach the the session and silently dies? Maybe should be a question to Debian maintainers of resp. stakeholders. > > Ok. Is this supposed to be gone when user logs out?

Right now I cannot reproduce it, but I am almost sure that I have seen it once. xscreensaver-systemd was haning around without associated xscreensaver process. > > ########################################################################## > > xscreensaver: 19:08:25: logging to "/tmp/xscreensaver-log.txt" at Wed Dec > > 30 19:08:25 2020 > > ########################################################################## > > No "running as" line in this log? I've pasted the whole file. Best regards, Eduard. -- <Rhonda> alphascorpii: channel.d.d/fortunes.html <HE> Rhonda: Die Seite mag ich nicht, da bin ich so häufig drauf.
