Since two week ago I can not use gdm under systemd.
gdm.service start, graphics it's initialized, blue wallpapers appeears and then... Oh! no, something wrong was happened (or similar because messages are on romanian).

gdm run perfectly fine under openrc.
I unmasked systemd flag for polkit:

Code: Select all

emerge -pvO polkit

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

[ebuild   R    ] sys-auth/polkit-0.107-r1  USE="gtk introspection nls pam systemd -examples -kde (-selinux)" 0 kB

but no change here...

GDM log:

Code: Select all

Any hint regarding this error ?

Did you ever figure this out? Having similar/same issue.

Yes... somehow.
You need to use polkit-108 and enable CONFIG_AUDIT in kernel - that way polkit can access info about other precesses.

I fixed my issue by use.mask-ing "-systemd" which allowed polkit to compile for systemd (it and a few other packages apparently has that USE flag hardmasked, so it wouldn't use it simply by putting it in my make.conf) .... Also, for the heck of it, I disabled consolekit globally since it's not needed for the newer GDM (and is apparently deprecated)

Works like a charm now.
