Xfce4-utils package recommends xscreensaver (or gnome-screensaver or xlockmore or xlockmore-gl). As you wrote above, recommended packages are now installed by default, so this is enough to have a working xflock4. This is rather subjective, but, imho, someone who disabled installation of recommended packages is obviously able to install them manually. -- Screen lock does not work by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/335533 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
