Partial lock issue

[felixsteghofer]

Hi,
I have an issue with locking my gnome-session on my latest linux arch system.

~ gnome-shell --version
GNOME Shell 3.16.3,
~ lightdm --version
lightdm 1.14.2
~ light-locker --version
light-locker 1.6.0

With dm-tool lock locking "sometimes" is successful but mainly only if the system has been started recently. After approx. an hour, locking is always failing. I looked at all log files in /var/log/lightdm/* and the Xorg logs but found nothing and no errors were thrown if executing lightdm lock.

I also tried light-locker-command -l but this does nothing (even if dm-tool lock is working).

Do you have any hint where to look for the reason of this problem?

If still applicable can your run light-locker in debug mode and capture the output?
kill light-locker
light-locker --debug > light-locker.log 2>&1
I think, either light-locker has or there is a keyboard/mouse grab blocking light-locker.
