LightDM - Sep 2012 - Using LightDM as a lockscreen

Good day everyone,

I'm working with the Xubuntu team on using LightDM as a lock screen.  
Currently, we're trying to use `gdmflexiserver` to send us back to the 
user switcher.  However, it always spawns lightdm into tty9 and you can 
easily return to your session unlocked in tty7.

Is there a reliable method to fully lock your computer with lightdm?

Thanks,
Sean

Hi Sean,

LightDM should lock the ConsoleKit session when it is switched away
from and then it's up to the session to lock down (e.g. by running
GNOME screensaver etc) in case a manual VT switch is performed. Can
you attach /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log after doing the switch? It
should have some records of locking the CK session.
