Tips and tricks for ConsoleKit, PolicyKit, and udev helpers

[hal2050]

hehe too bad.
well i tried qingy and it works. but only when using the manual login method (login screen). when using the autologin feature of qingy sessions don't get registered, it behaves just like using su/sudo/etc.

mingetty does work but opens a "real" shell for the user automatically logged in. not so nice.

What's the problem with having a user log in ,and startx being executed from their profile?

well my machine is a dedicated xbmc appliance in my living room. nothing else is installed on this system. it's slim and streamlined to my needs. i expect a media appliance to bootup quickly, login my user automatically and i'll do the rest with my remote to enjoy my media collection. basically it's a diy settopbox. and that's how this appliance should behave. serve me in an uncomplicated way.

there's no place for a big bunch of extra packages which get pulled in by gdm, kdm or slim. well slim isn't as "fat" as gdm/kdm in regards to its deps. but for my taste it's still too much. in my opinion such a task should be accomplishable with onboard tools.

here's list of deps for kdm and gdm on my system, just for the record:

kdm: http://pastebin.com/0dcqZyGY
gdm: http://pastebin.com/UDcFeFRB

not acceptable.

This raises an other question: why do I use CK at all for just mounting my USB drive?

good question. that's what i asked myself. but in my case it's not possible to move away from ck/pk and it's companions. xbmc has two builtin ways to automount devices and handle power tasks (shutdown, reboot, suspend).

1. hal
2. udev -> udisks / upower

as everybody knows hal is deprecated basically. xbmc still supports it but i'm pretty sure it's just a matter of time until it's getting removed. before it's getting removed from xbmc source i guess hal support will be dropped from the gentoo ebuild. there's an open ticket on the bug tracker for removal of hal support. i agree totally with this decission. hal was hell since 2001. i won't switch back.
xbmc also does support udisks / upower. that's fine but requires ck. and at this point people who run setups like me are more less stuck in the middle of nowhere when it comes to autologin their user and register with ck.

dm alternatives are:

- slim (might be "too fat" for some of us)
- qingy (seems to be broken in regards to ck and autologin)
- mingetty (opens a shell -> "security")

I'm afraid "time" won't do anything here since an actual login is required for ConsoleKit's pam_ck_connector.so to get used, stuff like utmp/wtmp entries to get written... Otherwise CK wouldn't have any idea it's actually a local login and correctly refuses to authorize. It's by design like this.

seems like with ck there's a gap in the market for a console based dm.
maybe i should just download the xbmc livecd or some minimal live distro without a dm to get a clue how these people do it.

[d2_racing]

By the way Ssuominen, thanks for this guide, I'm running KDE 4.6 without hal since Feb 4 and it's running pretty good

I understand, I don't like gdm/kdm myself because of the dependencies, and prefer to use startx

You might look at slim source and see how they do the login and adapt it for your purposes, or check out their development versions.

Good luck

-> Device Drivers
[ ] ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support (DEPRECATED) CONFIG_IDE=n <- This breaks both udev, and udisks.

I think this renamed my hda to sda, which makes kind of fun during boot

Now I'll do the same on a remote computer, let's see how fun it is

- mingetty (opens a shell -> "security")

Seriously. What's the problem of getting a proper login/and a shell with mingetty? I'm still not getting it. If you are looking for extra security, this definately ain't the place you should be looking at...

Yep. PATA/SATA drivers would do that. It's expected behavior.

[Havin_it]

@ssuominen, thanks for writing this all up. I'm still not clear on a couple of things though:

1) How much of it is needed/advised on a headless system where only logins are (usually) by SSH? I don't want to screw that up, as connecting this box to my TV when SSH doesn't work is a royal pain!

2) Does ck-launch-session need to be added somewhere for KDM users?

3) My homedir is mounted via pam_mount (and just to make things fun, it's hacked to use truecrypt instead of dm-crypt, though I don't suspect that matters). Will udisks likely screw with this in any way? Better to know in advance...

Hoping to get my head round all this so I can be hal-free when upgrading to kde-4.6. Thanks for any advice.

[mantoo]

First of all, thank you very much ssuominen!

Everything is working fairly well now, using 'startx' and openbox. My .xinitrc:

Code: Select all

exec ck-launch-session openbox-session

I don't have 'dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session' - what am I missing by leaving it out?

I also manually mount USB-disks with 'udisks --mount' because, as I found out here just now, I don't have the "gdu" USE-flag in GVFS and I use pcmanfm-0.9.7-r2. Think I will wait for pcmanfm-0.9.8 instead of compiling gnome-disk-utility though...

Everything works kind of well here too, with kde 4.5.5, using kdm, except for my usb flash drive auto-mounting.... although i never needed it to be auto-mounted, i always had a popup in kde notifying me when connected (i think this was hal´s work). but now, even when mounting by hand it doesn't show up anymore in dolphin..

Why would you need "active = TRUE" when you log in from SSH? If you really do, I think you need to write custom .pkla rules like the first post in this thread is linking to (see the ArchLinux wiki link in it) if you want to be able remotely access power and/or storage devices. As in, you want to grant privileges to non-local users to the devices.

I'm pretty sure KDM has internal consolekit support, and that ck-launch-session is not required. Should be easily tested. First try without, if everything works, you're good.

And there shouldn't be any issues wrt pam_mount, but who knows... you might be the first person to try this.

[wrc1944]

I've followed the instructions on page 1 on 4 different ~arch Gentoo systems, and being a kde (and kdm) user I can confirm that kdm does not need any ck-launch-session, startx, etc.

I just did the basic steps about USE flags, rc-update, /etc/portage, kernel options, and required packages, and it worked out fine.

I don't know whether I need active = TRUE because I don't know what it means, TBH I just wanted the skinny on how ssh logins might be affected by these system changes, because that's the only practical method for me to access the box in question, and such a setup isn't discussed above.

I don't know if this would be related, but I'm at work today after making the changes last night, and can't reach any of its WAN-facing servers (sshd, apache2 or squeezeboxserver) over the Internet - they are all timing out. Certainly local SSH login was OK last night. Could there be a link? (The other possibility is Fail2Ban has suddenly banned my work IP, but can't see why that would happen now)
EDIT: Yeah, ignore this, I changed a bookmark and got my work computer banned - duuuuhhhhh

RE pam_mount - lol, time to take one for the team eh?

[while true]

newbie, going third time, kheh heh

Hammett, thank you for your explanation
-----------
ok, I have 2 laptops, xfce/slim.

On "smaller" one I followed new ssuominen's instructions and I got it worked!
(oh, ssuominen, I could kiss you)

But on "bigger" one I have problems.
As I click on Logout icon, when it should popup a shut-down/restart/hibernate/...options,
it just logs out and it goes to login screen (ssuominen, that kiss will have to wait...).
Mounting usb works spectacularly.

Also, this is very scary for me:

Code: Select all

C6820s grom # emerge --update --deep --newuse --keep-going --ask world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:

sys-auth/polkit:0

  (sys-auth/polkit-0.99-r1, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
    (no parents that aren't satisfied by other packages in this slot)

  (sys-auth/polkit-0.96-r2, installed) pulled in by
    <sys-auth/polkit-0.99 required by (gnome-extra/polkit-gnome-0.96-r1, installed)


It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously.  If such a conflict exists in
the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can
not be installed simultaneously. You may want to try a larger value of
the --backtrack option, such as --backtrack=30, in order to see if
that will solve this conflict automatically.

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man
page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

newbie, going third time, kheh heh

First you need all of glib, polkit, polkit-gnome, upower, udisks, and some gnome pkgs from same stabilization level: stable or ~arch
That conflict is because you are trying to mix versions in /etc/portage/package.keywords with poor success.

And secondly, you propably forgot USE="hal" in make.conf or /etc/portage/package.use somewhere that's causing gnome-vfs to be pulled with USE="hal" enabled.
Make that USE="-hal" everywhere.

That doesn't look right. You should have session also for /dev/tty1 text login if you used startx. So, is USE="consolekit pam" missing (like suggested to enable in first post) and is /etc/ configuration correct (emerge --noconfmem -1 pambase consolekit shadow, and etc-update, also suggested in first post) ?
Since that looks like pam_ck_connector.so was never used it's propably one of those.

[while true]

hello all,

ola ssuominen,

You were right for hal use, I had in package.use a bunch of "hal"s that I turned into "-hal".(In make.config I do have -hal from start.)
So big THANK YOU for bearing with this dumb newbie, kheh, I really feel stupid for not figuring that on my own. So this is now ok.

About that first part, I will have to look into, because I do not understand quite right...
At the end of this post I will post my package.keywords, as I understand, there is the problem?

but now I have bigger problem, since things have deteriorated...

As boot starts, I get it a bit different as I was used to.
The obvious thing is the red star stating something like "vboxdrv could not be loaded". So I tested my virtual box, and it was ok, until I closed it and, I believe, everything fall back to X windows... I have an X for mouse pointer, I can not switch desktops, apps do not have that border (min, max, close), so I can not drag them around, nor resize, every app starts in upper left corner, I can not switch between them with SHIFT+TAB... Reboot does not help...

..oh, oh...


here is my package.keywords:

hello all,

ola ssuominen,

but now I have bigger problem, since things have deteriorated...

As boot starts, I get it a bit different as I was used to.
The obvious thing is the red star stating something like "vboxdrv could not be loaded". So I tested my virtual box, and it was ok, until I closed it and, I believe, everything fall back to X windows... I have an X for mouse pointer, I can not switch desktops, apps do not have that border (min, max, close), so I can not drag them around, nor resize, every app starts in upper left corner, I can not switch between them with SHIFT+TAB... Reboot does not help...
Thank you.

Please don't try to hijack this thread for unrelated issues. Open a new thread instead. Thanks!

Sure thing ssuominen, I am grateful for your work,
I can only imagine the volume of work you put into this.

I am really sorry for taking the liberty to mess this thread, but I do not know where else to ask, since my problems derived from upgrading xfce, so as a newbie I am just grabbing everything I can, kheh..

I opened new thread, my last hijack is asking to look at it.

Thank you all.
