Bug 360987 – x11-apps/xdm: Include internal ConsoleKit support

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2011-03-28 19:24:19 UTC]

Reported upstream ML here:

http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2011-February/019615.html

Reported to both Fedora, and Debian but not yet in use.  OpenSUSE and Mandriva are using this.

One of the downstream bugs, with the latest rev. of the patch attached:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=615020

I'm not yet sure how good or bad idea this is, but reporting before I forget. Will return to this bug soon.

i applied the arch patches, xdm compiles, but ck-list-sessions still has FALSE for everything. do i still need to remove nox11 from pam_ck_connector.so with these xdm patches?

are you pass "--with-consolekit" to configure?

no.

on my system:
grep pam_ck_connector /etc/pam.d/*
/etc/pam.d/system-login:session         optional        pam_ck_connector.so nox11

Created attachment 285449 [details, diff]
Xdm ebuild modified to integrate consolekit support.

I have slightly modified original ebuild to use xdm-consolekit.diff from patch mentioned in comment 1.
