The stock screen-locker in BunenLabs is light-locker so you can check if it is installed:

apt-cache policy light-locker

And also if it is running:

pgrep -a light-locker

We also have slock installed, does that work?

slock

(Press <Return>, type your password then press <Return> again to unlock the screen)

it doesn't look like light-locker is installed... I must have removed it accidentally. Thanks !

That's great to hear...and it is easy to mistakenly remove a package and then later find that something doesn't work.
