systemd 243.0-1 breaks light-locker on second lock activation

[chrishoage]

This is an odd one. Recently light-locker has started to not send me to the greeter only after my second time locking. The first time works as normal. The second time I am presented with the lock screen and never sent to VT8. If I manually go to VT8 nothing is there.

To fix it I have to go to VT2 and pkill light-locker to get my session back.

It doesn't appear the greeter matters here, I've tried with lightdm-mini-greeter and webkit2-greeter and both have this issue.

Lines of note are ones relationg to session switching

[gs_manager_timed_switch] gs-manager.c:445 (00:09:20):   Start switch to greeter timer

None of these kinds of logs that are present in the first lock attempt are present in the second lock attempt.

A systemd update was installed directly before these issues happened. I noticed some systemd references in the logs in the first lock attempt that were not present int he second lock attempt

[listener_dbus_handle_system_message] gs-listener-dbus.c:1374 (00:09:22):    systemd notified ActiveSession 0

systemd update in question, in case others have similar issues. When I have time later in this week I will attempt a downgrade and see if it has any effect with my issue.

zsh: terminated  light-locker --debug

[worldofpeace]

@chrishoage If you look in the issue tracker there's already many duplicates of this exact issue.

[chrishoage]

It wasn't clear to me that this was the exact same issue, considering it works for me on the first lock

from what I was reading in the other issues it didn't work for them ever

[Elliot2560]

The dm-tool switch-to-greeter workaround from #138 worked for me, with the unfortunate side effect that whichever window was active when the screen was locked loses keyboard until I switch to a different window and back.

[chrishoage]

I had time to downgrade systemd and systemd-sysvcompat and the issue is gone.

There seems to be a compatibility issue with systemd version 243.0-1 and light-locker

[Ham5andw1ch]

I too am having this issue. Using downgraded systemd for the time being until we figure out why this is.

[emanuelserpa]

I'm having this same issue on Arch Linux

[YanDoroshenko]

Seems like I'm having the same issue.

[irminsul]

Same here.

[marcusg]

same on arch....

[worldofpeace]

I you don't have any extra context to add to the issue, an equivalent could be using the thumbs up feature.

[worldofpeace]

An easy way to reproduce this would be

light-locker-command -l # run this twice

Always produces this issue with systemd 243.

It's likely to be a bug in logind https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commits/v243/src/login, probably could bisect for the issue. I do know in GNOME they had issues with logind in 234 that required an upstream fix https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/471cffcfb0e005b7c4044b3b52cc4f25d217efac#diff-0eb89e0717dc797d17bc97f3e4794a6a.

[worldofpeace]

Didn't have the convenience to bisect, but reverting https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/3b92c086a8d5338e2164ffa0ae48b3d03d10cfb5 got rid of the issue. I'm pretty sure it's what causes the issue here as well.

[petrmanek]

After a recent update, I'm also getting this bug. Running light-locker 1.8.0-2 with systemd 243.51-1 on arch (5.3.1.arch1-1). My current workaround is not to run light-locker at all.

[YanDoroshenko]

@petrmanek Awesome workaround man. I know a couple more of the same kind - to not run GNU/Linux, to not use a computer and to not exist :D

[petrmanek]

@petrmanek Awesome workaround man. I know a couple more of the same kind - to not run GNU/Linux, to not use a computer and to not exist :D

This almost sounds like a enterprise strategy of sorts. :D :D

But seriously, I don't really like selective package downgrading. So this, albeit a crude solution, makes sense to me as a short-term fix. If this becomes a long-term issue though, my next "workaround" for this will be to find a nice Wayland compositor and cease using LightDM completely.

[jee-r]

I had time to downgrade systemd and systemd-sysvcompat and the issue is gone.

There seems to be a compatibility issue with systemd version 243.0-1 and light-locker

I have the same issue on my laptop under Archlinux and i confirm after downgrading systemd and systemd-sysvcompat from 243.51-1 to 242.84-2 the issue is gone.

[pbbob]

Since this seems to be an issue with systemd, and not with light-locker, has anyone reported this to the systemd folks?

[chrishoage]

If you're confident this is an actual issue with systemd and not an issue with how light-locker uses/interfaces with systemd then by all means go file an issue with systemd

Searching their github issue tracker this issue does not have an active GHI open.

The reason I started with a GHI in the light-locker repo is because systemd otherwise works fine, and I definitely don't understand what the issue is enough to understand it's an upstream issue.

[worldofpeace]

I've declined to open an issue with upstream systemd for the same reasons. Mostly because this looks like a slightly unmaintained project, so it felt inappropriate to make such a report.

However, bringing the issue to them could perhaps help us figure out what code changes need to be make in light-locker, if any, so we can proceed with fixing this.

[worldofpeace]

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/13769 is tracking this.

[newrokor]

As a work around for those using Arch/XFCE (and possibly others): Replacing light-locker by xfce4-screensaver (incl. locker) works perfect for me using an up-to-date systemd. Maybe due to no switch of the VT?

[worldofpeace]

Though note @newrokor that may not work for everyone as their screenlocker has a different dbus api.

[worldofpeace]

We got this fixed in nixos https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/69399. Your distro should include commits from https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/13811 into systemd.

[petrmanek]

I haven't seen the bug for a while now. Currently running systemd v243.78. Don't know if the commits referenced by @worldofpeace already managed to make it into the mainline since v243.51.

[rudism]

This problem still occurs for me on systemd 243.78-2 in arch linux.

[jee-r]

This problem still occurs for me on systemd 243.78-2 in arch linux.

For me it's ok i no longer have this issue on my Arch systemd and systemd-sysvcompat in version 243.78-2

Did you try to reboot ?

edit:

Oh no the #$?%ing lock screen is back :cry:

[luben93]

This problem still occurs for me too using systemd 243.78-2 in arch linux.

[renataogarcia]

For Arch users - 243.78-2 does not include the fix yet. See bug report for more info.

[Elliot2560]

The issue is fixed for Arch now in systemd 273.162-2, which includes this commit that fixes this upstream issue. I upgraded systemd and tried using light-locker on my two computers and they seem to work fine.

[petrmanek]

@Elliot2560 Just upgraded to 243.162-2. Will update the thread if I see anything suspicious.

[atmarx]

Worked for me -- thank you! It's gonna take a few days to break the habit of immediately switching to tty6 and unlocking the session from there :)

[miniskipper]

Finally :)

[tuxayo]

I wonder how many users switched to another screen locker due to this :(

(which still happening on other distros not having yet the update)

[tintou]

So if it is fixed upstream, let's close this issue

[rafamanzo]

After upgrading systemd on Arch to 247, the same problem is back in two machines I have with the same setup.

Is anyone else experiencing this again after upgrading?

If so, should we open a new issue to track it or reopen this one?

[rudism]

I'm having this (or at least a very similar) issue again after upgrading as well.

[chrishoage]

Assuming you're on Arch: The package maintainer cherry picked this commit https://github.com/the-cavalry/light-locker/pull/153 to the build in the arch package repo https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/commit/f2f327b937416353702e29851201d0c24e91ed77

There is this bug tracking it in the Arch bug tracker https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/68905

Downgrading from 1.9.0-3 to 1.9.0-2 works around the issue for now
