Hello,

For quite some time now I simply can't get sys-auth/consolekit to start. The package builds and installs flawlessly but gives errors when started as "/etc/init.d/consolekit start". This used to be a minor annoyance but now I can't even start up KDE anymore (apparently lots of things try to invoke consolekit and it hangs for 25s each time rendering it impractical). Here is the output from trying to start it in a shell:

Code:
# /etc/init.d/consolekit start
 * Caching service dependencies ...                                                                                     [ ok ]
 * Starting consolekit ...
 * start-stop-daemon: did not create a valid pid in `/run/ConsoleKit/pid'
 * Failed to start consolekit                                                                                           [ !! ]
 * ERROR: consolekit failed to start


This appears (verbatim) in /var/log/messages:

Code:
Nov 17 13:55:52 causality /etc/init.d/consolekit[24758]: start-stop-daemon: did not create a valid pid in `/run/ConsoleKit/pid'
Nov 17 13:55:52 causality /etc/init.d/consolekit[24382]: ERROR: consolekit failed to start


That's it. No useful errors I can act on. So I tried manually running the command like this:

Code:
# /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon --debug --no-daemon
console-kit-daemon[5405]: DEBUG: Debugging enabled
console-kit-daemon[5405]: DEBUG: initializing console-kit-daemon 1.2.0
console-kit-daemon[5405]: DEBUG: name_lost

console-kit-daemon[5405]: DEBUG: Disconnected from D-Bus


I've never seen such useless error output before (except on Windows systems). I have no idea why consolekit is failing, how to get more information, or where to even begin. Please help. For now I switched to LXDE but I would really like to return to KDE Plasma.

It appears my Dbus is all screwed up. This is the output of running "qdbus" as root:

Code:
causality ~ # qdbus
:1.4
org.freedesktop.DBus
causality ~ #


And the output of this:

Code:
causality ~ # dbus-send --system --print-reply --reply-timeout=2000    --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus    /org/freedesktop/DBus    org.freedesktop.DBus.ListNames
method return time=1511194299.345474 sender=org.freedesktop.DBus -> destination=:1.71 serial=3 reply_serial=2
   array [
      string "org.freedesktop.DBus"
      string ":1.71"
      string ":1.4"
      string ":1.0"
      string ":1.64"
      string ":1.20"
      string "org.freedesktop.Avahi"
      string ":1.43"
      string ":1.6"
      string ":1.59"
      string ":1.2"
      string ":1.44"
   ]

On other examples I googled there were human-readable service *names* instead of things like ":1.43". This output doesn't look anything like what I see on those.

This may explain why ConsoleKit just complains about "name_lost" and exits.
