I suspect that your computer is using the i915 video driver which for some reason does not seem to play well with light-locker in combination with the lightdm-gtk-greeter. If "lsmod | grep i915" produces any output then you have this video driver.
My experience has found two workarounds. Try one or both and see if that fixes your problem.

Thanks for the help. I don't have i915 driver. Tried the slick greeter it doesn't work.
It is not a problem before in the fresh install of the ISO candidate. Light-locker started to have problem when I uninstalled some pre-installed programs. I just don't remember what program triggered the error.

If you have the disk space, set up a fresh-install testing partition to test this issue with.

Do you need lightlocker to be active? If you always have physical control of the computer, you dont need the lock function.
It is not an laptop? Instead of auto screensaver, you can torn off power to monitor... If you do not want to continue hunting down a real fix...

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Fixed the issue already by via Fresh-Install.

It should be. Left-click on the tint2 clock for gsimplecal, right-click for the beepmein alarm clock.

For people using Lithium since feb or march, do we have to modify anything on our current install ? ( noobie question)
According to Buddhism, we all met several times... This time, it's on this forum :-) May we meet again

No, you do not need to do anything.

Sorry to contradict you, @rbh, but people using Lithium from Feb or March will still have their apt sources set to the experimental repository. While updates are still going there at the moment, as well as the official repo (maybe sometimes a few days earlier in fact), it will eventually be necessary to edit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bunsen.list to read
deb https://pkg.bunsenlabs.org/debian lithium main
No harm to do this right away.

But that is the answer to another question...

^Sorry, what was the other question?
I think I answered Yoda correctly.

Yoda asked "do we have to modify anything", note "have to".
You answered "No harm to do".
It is in no way incorrect...

Burt Ward: Holy pedantic, Batman!
Adam West: Yes, Robin. One must never underestimate the human capacity for obsession with the trivial. Watch 'Rain Man', great movie.
Robin: But Batman! He's Swedish, they have one of the best education systems in the world!!!
Batman (pauses, raises gloved finger): An educated criminal mind is our greatest foe, Robin.
Robin: Gosh Batman, you're right!
Batman: Never come to conclusions prematurely, ol' chum!

I was interested in making the change right away (no harm in doing that because it will be eventually necessary -- perfectly clear, to me at least ), since my sources.list still is set on
deb https://kelaino.bunsenlabs.org/~johnraff/debian lithium main
(I guess the experimental repo).
Something strange happens when I try to update the repositories via synaptic (through the Configuration > Repositories menu) : I have a message telling that the repos have been modified and that they should be reloaded. Which I do. But I keep having the same message after having reloaded them, and so on in an endless loop, and I never get to the repos window.
Of course I can make the change in cli, but I thought it might be interesting to know...

If you remove package "software-properties-gtk" (will also remove gnome-software), the loop will be ended.

You can edit sources in gui editor...

tks johnraff I modified my /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bunsen.list on my 3 BL PCs...

Do the apt-get update to make sure all's well and proper? If the repo sync goes thru peachy keen you are good, any error most likely might be caused by typos in your source .list file.

Ok thanks rbh. Didn't know about that! Worked right away.

Oh sure, that's what I did, and worked like a charm. I was mostly concerned with the endless loop in synaptic.

Are there any real advantages to waiting on the official release or would I be just as well to edit my sources lists to buster and lithium and apt-get update?

It has been disussed the Pros and Cons of upgrading or doing a new installation. Your choise can only be answered by you, based on your installation and needs.
Btw, when dist upgrading do not forget to run "apt full upgrade" or "apt-get dist-upgrade" after apt update/upgrade.
