I am using Debian 9, kernel 4.9.0-1 and xfce 4.12.3 and I have a problem that after I lock the screen and close the lid of my laptop and later open the lid I will be prompted with the session login (same login that prompts the first time I boot into the system) and after that with the screen locker. Is there a way to disable this session login and only have screen locker because it is tiresome to type username and password every time I close the lid.

In settings manager choose "Session and Startup" and on "general" tab uncheck "Display chooser on login" but it will remove screen locker functionality too. It kinda controversial - remove login protection and keep it in the same time– AlexCommented Feb 5, 2017 at 11:33

It is already unchecked.– Aleksandar BukvaCommented Feb 5, 2017 at 11:54

Check power setting, it is in settings manager/Power Manager there should be settings in action panel for "When laptop lid closed" choose appropriate action you want– AlexCommented Feb 5, 2017 at 21:39

It it set to lock the screen, but the problem is that beside locking the screen I get like logout. I am prompted with username and password to enter instead of xscreensaver window where I need to enter password. After I enter username and password then xscreensaver window shows and I need to enter password once again. I want to bypass entering password two times.– Aleksandar BukvaCommented Feb 6, 2017 at 16:34

Choose "suspend" instead of "lock screen" in power manager– AlexCommented Feb 6, 2017 at 20:12

In settings manager "Session and Startup" choose the "Application Autostart" tab and uncheck "Screen Locker" - keep "Screensaver" checked
Here is the screenshot. Menu > Sessions Startup > Application Autostart
Also check the Xfce Power Manager, on the Security tab, there is a dropdown for 'Automatically lock the screen ' and a checkbox for 'Lock screen when system is going for sleep' as these could also be locking your screen.
