Incidentally, have you seen this?

Perhaps this has some effect on LXDE as well?

My first 2 LXDE setups were an experiment of “frugal-in-virtualbox.” So, today I reinstalled (from antiX core 19.1) as a regular install. (The new(er), improved cli-installer is super, by the way.)

I was offered to download & install some packages useful to DE’s prior to install, which I did. Then I installed as normal, rebooted, ran apt update & upgrade, installed only xorg & lxde, then rebooted a final time. (Thanks for bearing with me this far!)

Upon restart, the GDBus error DID NOT APPEAR. The screen locker option was in the preferences menu, and I unchecked it. And the system was able to shutdown from the GUI as normal.

What do you think of that?

Did he check if the package is installed?

I have two other installations of antixcore-LXDE on SSD, on two other laptops and went to check these, concerning our discussion on screenlocker & disabling it. They have been working normally, since I installed them about 3 months ago – very stable, no problems whatsoever. In both cases, screenlocker is listed under Desktop Session Settings, though have never had any problems with it on those laptops. However, to mitigate against any potential problems in that direction, I have now turned screenlocker off, thanks to your suggestion. I have also installed xscreensaver & xscreensaver-data.

I’ve come to the conclusion that the most likely cause for screenlocker not being listed on the netbook, under Desktop Session Settings, is the installed system had become corrupted. I think the most likely explanation for this corruption, was having to repeatedly use the netbook’s on/off switch, as the only means of shutting-down, when the display went blank. I thought this would eventually break the system – and it did. Following this, the GD Bus errors started, and the system failed to recognise attached USB-drives, and my falkon browser stopped working. Also, I noticed that when the netbook booted, it had changed from init to runit …

I am going to reinstall antixcore-LXDE on the netbook. This time I’ll install a separate /home partition, to preserve configuration files, just in case things go awry again. Now that the the screenlocker issue appears to have been sorted out, I’m expecting things to continue more smoothly with the netbook. Many thanks again Christophe, I have really appreciated your help 🙂

Also thanks to sybok, fatmac & male for your ideas – much appreciated.
