Session does not register in ConsoleKit

I use gnome 3.4 on otherwise ~amd64 system. I've reinstalled gentoo onto another machine and it looks like consolekit is not working.

Code: Select all

% dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.GetSeats  
method return sender=:1.11 -> dest=:1.83 reply_serial=2
   array [
      object path "/org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Seat1"
   ]

% dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.GetSessions
method return sender=:1.11 -> dest=:1.85 reply_serial=2
   array [
   ]
% pgrep -u$UID gnome-session
2801

I have consolekit flag enabled. Any idea what I've misconfigured?

Hi Uzytkownik.

AFAIK consolekit has to be started with your default runlevel, so add it, if its not in.

I use systemd so it was autostarted if anyone tried to communicate with it. In any case enabling it did not helped:

Code: Select all

% systemctl status console-kit-daemon.service
console-kit-daemon.service - Console Manager
	  Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib64/systemd/system/console-kit-daemon.service; enabled)
	  Active: active (running) since Sun, 01 Jul 2012 23:16:20 -0700; 13min ago
	Main PID: 2521 (console-kit-dae)
	  CGroup: name=systemd:/system/console-kit-daemon.service
		  └ 2521 /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon --no-daemon
% dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.GetSessions
method return sender=:1.3 -> dest=:1.65 reply_serial=2
   array [
   ]

Why do you have ConsoleKit installed when Systemd's logind replaces it's functionality?

It was in profile and I wasn't sure if everything was ported.

Anyway the sessions in logind are not registered anyway (I've checked before posting):

Code: Select all

% systemd-loginctl list-seats | cat
seat0
% systemd-loginctl list-sessions | wc -l
0

I don't use systemd but I know you need at least >=sys-auth/pambase-20120417-r1 and >=sys-auth/polkit-0.106-r6 with USE="systemd" enabled

Then you need to use Display Manager that's properly using the pambase's system-local-login, I know at least latest x11-misc/lightdm does and by logging into text based console (tty1 for example) will work too (+ startx)

Or alternatively you have to edit /etc/pam.d/ file for your Display Manager and insert the line:

Code: Select all

-session	optional	pam_systemd.so

What I'm trying to say is that you need to login in a way that pam_systemd.so gets used, and that only part of the Display Managers currently in tree use pambase correctly.

That was it. Thanks.
