Antergos has a black lock screen in VBox - no login possible

Post by an0n1mous »

Hello!

After a few minutes without doing something on the PC, Antergos turns into a lock screen. So far, so good.

But the lock screen is black. Therefore I could not type my password, becaus I see nothing.

Interesting is, when I put the LOOKED Antergos on the task bar and wait a few minutes, the look screen is normal again. This is really uncomfortable and impractical when I will work with my PC at the time, I want to work with. Not after a few minutes after looking the screen an put it on the task bar… ;-)

I have this problem since two mounts.

I use Xfce.

I don’t know, if this would be an antergos-problem or a vbox-problem.

Here are pictures: https://forum.antergos.com/topic/11400/ ... n-possible

Best regards to you.

Disable all screen savers, all power savings mode. You don't need those in a guest in any event...
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

@socratis: I won't disable that thinks. I think a look screen could be wise in connection with privacy.

Locking your guest is a privacy issue, while locking your host isn't? If you want "privacy" lock your host. Your guest will be inaccessible as well...

Otherwise disable the 3D acceleration, which I suspect that you have enabled. But still, focus your privacy concerns on your host's screen, not on your guest's screen.
