Perhaps gdm's configure script should be run with the option: --with-consolekit-directory=/usr/lib/ConsoleKit I don't know if it depends on the consolekit version but consolekit-0.4.6 is both the latest version in portage and stable. Just for fun, I added this configure option to src_configure() in the ebuild: --with-consolekit-directory="${EPREFIX}/usr/lib/ConsoleKit" \ Then rebuilt gdm and rebooted. Now I get this in "/var/log/:0-slave.log": gdm-simple-slave[3205]: Failed to give slave programs access to the display. Trying to proceed. gdm-password][3755]: pam_unix(gdm-password:session): session opened for user abbotti by (uid=0) gdm-password][3755]: pam_ck_connector(gdm-password:session): nox11 mode, ignoring PAM_TTY :0 gdm-password][3755]: gkr-pam: the password for the login keyring was invalid. gdm-simple-slave[3205]: Failed to remove slave program access to the display. Trying to proceed. That looks like a slight improvement in the number of error messages, but I don't think it makes much real difference. I'm guessing that pam_ck_connector was really expecting PAM_TTY to be something like "/dev/tty7" rather than ":0"? (On the whole, I think I'll go back to using lightdm instead of gdm as it seems to start up quicker.) Wow. I was under impression upstream removed ConsoleKit support from GDM in 3.8?! If that's not the case, this should be fixed asap! See bug 461866, it was already fixed once... and the fix got dropped? + 01 Feb 2014; Pacho Ramos <pacho@gentoo.org> gdm-3.10.0.1.ebuild, + gdm-3.8.4-r3.ebuild: + Fix consolekit paths (#499434 by Ian Abbott) + The paths were wrong indeed... but I don't fully understand if you are able to login even with the last warnings :/ (In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #4) > The paths were wrong indeed... but I don't fully understand if you are able > to login even with the last warnings :/ Yes, I can login even with those warnings! Per: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=702588 Looks like it's a harmless message I guess we can close this until upstream finally hides that message ;) |
