 Posted: Tue Dec 13, 2011 8:34 am Post subject: [SOLVED] delayed logout xfce4. lxpolkit segf. dbus probl |
 |
|
Hi there,
I have the symptoms described at https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-885662-start-0.html unresolved post though *kits configured matching https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-858965-postdays-0-postorder-asc-start-0.html - at my best...
In short: at logout I have the logout window delayed and responsiveness suffers penalty. I can only log out, but can not reboot or halt. Trying the latters I am prompted to enter a password but that is always rejected. I can not suspend or hybernate.
note: I tried emerging xfce4-session USE='-consolekit' at least 'solved' the stall at logout but not the logout-reboot button problem. now consolekit is back. .
Checking out messages I caught

Replacing lxpolkit with polkit-gnome the segfault message is gone. Now a different comes when trying to log out.

I also have problem with automounting pendrive etc., perhaps related to this problem. upower -d is complaining:
| Quote: | Dec 13 10:45:37 [dbus] [system] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.UPower' (using servicehelper)

|
and at inserting a pendrive kernel recognizes it but
| Quote: | Dec 13 10:49:46 [dbus] [system] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.UDisks' (using servicehelper)
Dec 13 10:49:46 [dbus] [system] Activated service 'org.freedesktop.UDisks' failed: Failed to execute program /usr/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper: Success
|
Here my faint knowledge is exhausted - I do not have a really clear picture about the pam-*kit-dbus system to navigate further. More, for me this combo is a kind of mess with different syntaxes and all. So, till the shiny day it is cleared up I lean on others advise.
Thanx!

News.
I followed https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-905296.html Hypnos advise and included polkit in USE flag list and also
-policykit.
However, the main problem - delayed logout, no reboot-halt function - has remained.

Ok then.
The solution was simply to change the permission of /usr/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper too+x.
All runs fine - pendrive automount, suspend, no delay...

Never do that, unless you want everyone on your system to be allowed to gain root. As in, that is same as intentionally inserting a vulnerability to your own machine.
The solution is to recompile pkgs like dev-libs/dbus-glib after dev-libs/glib upgrade (as noted by elog in the end of glib emerge)
Propably 'emerge -e sys-apps/dbus dev-libs/dbus-glib' will do the trick if nothing else does |

For anyone coming here from search:
A proper and easier way of fixing this would be to chown this helper to be owned by root:messagebus |
