I have finally been able to spend some time to dig into this more. After much trial and error, I ran xfce-power-manager from the command line (xfce4-power-manager --debug --no-daemon), and I realized the following message is being displayed over and over:
TRACE[xfpm-inhibit.c:357] xfpm_inhibit_un_inhibit(): UnHibit message received TRACE[xfpm-inhibit.c:95] xfpm_inhibit_has_inhibit_changed(): Inhibit removed TRACE[xfpm-inhibit.c:343] xfpm_inhibit_inhibit(): Inhibit send application name=/usr/bin/google-chrome reason=Uploading data to bn3sch020022343.gateway.messenger.live.com sender=:1.5650 TRACE[xfpm-inhibit.c:101] xfpm_inhibit_has_inhibit_changed(): Inhibit added TRACE[xfpm-inhibit.c:357] xfpm_inhibit_un_inhibit(): UnHibit message received TRACE[xfpm-inhibit.c:95] xfpm_inhibit_has_inhibit_changed(): Inhibit removed Based on this, I closed my "hotmail" (mail.live.com) page in Google - and subsequently my screen locks and the screensaver engages. If I re-open hotmail, the screen no longer locks and my displays stay on forever. The ultimate question is why a background process can interrupt the power manager like this? This is not the expected behavior, is there either a bug in the code, or something wrong with my configuration? ** Package changed: light-locker (Ubuntu) => xfce4-power-manager (Ubuntu) ** Summary changed: - Light locker does not lock the display + Display is not locked on Xubuntu -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1587123 Title: Display is not locked on Xubuntu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-power-manager/+bug/1587123/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
