Description Łukasz Stelmach 2012-09-29 21:07:43 UTC

If slim is to be used with systemd it has to be started in non-daemon mode. In this mode it does not add automatically "vt7" to xserver_arguments and does not set hasVtSet variable to true, like it does in daemonmode. This affects the ConsoleKit patch which creates a session without providing x11-display-device, a session that is not on Seat1, thus it is unable to control some things e.g. Udisks.

To solve problem vt7 must be a part of the xserver_arguments option in the /etc/slim.conf just like in xdm's Xservers file.

Reproducible: Always

Meh, doesn't hurt to explicitly declare the VT by default ; the C code just hard-codes 'vt07' if it's unset anyhow.

Will commit once I fix bug 436556
