[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#827838: light-locker makes it prohibitely difficult to debug

[Lee Garrett]

Package: light-locker
Version: 1.7.0-3
Severity: normal

Dear maintainer,

while debugging #819329 I noticed that it's quite difficult to use
light-locker-command to query the state of light-locker from a different
terminal. See below:


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
randall at saito:~$ light-locker-command -q
** Message: Failed to get session bus: Cannot autolaunch D-Bus without X11 $DISPLAY
randall at saito:~$ DISPLAY=":0.0" light-locker-command -q
** Message: Locker is not running!
randall at saito:~$ ps auxw | grep light-l
randall   6265  0.1  0.1 387012 18776 pts/0    Sl+  17:20   0:00 light-locker --debug
randall   6279  0.0  0.0  14240  2232 pts/3    S+   17:21   0:00 grep --color light-l
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If there is a way to use light-locker-command from a (non-X) tty, it would be
great if that was documented somewhere.

Regards,
Lee
