[Resolved] Screen won't Lock

Hi, for some reason CB won't lock. I'm currently using the oblogout script, and the screen won't lock with that or the default Exit cmd from the OpenBox menu. What are some possible reasons for this and how can I fix it? Thanks.

Re: [Resolved] Screen won't Lock

What happens when you run this command (in a terminal):

gnome-screensaver-command --lock

Re: [Resolved] Screen won't Lock

Make sure "gnome-screensaver &" is not commented out in your autostart.sh file.

Meanwhile just press Alt+F2 and run gnome-screensaver. Afterwards you should be able to lock the screen.
