Hello! After a recent upgrade to x11-misc/slim-1.3.2-r7 I got the "Shutdown" and "Reboot" buttons greyed out in Xfce. The only way I can halt or reboot my system is to log out and type "halt" or "reboot" in Slim's username field. Also I get a "Not Authorized" error message when trying to mount a USB flash drive in my file manager. These issues seem to be related to some common underlying problem. Reproducible: Always
1) Please post your `emerge --info x11-misc-slim' output in a comment. 2) Please attach your /etc/conf.d/xdm. 3) Please attach your /etc/slim.conf. 4) Could you see if it is in fact not the slim upgrade but a xorg-server or xdm that caused this? You can probably do that by downgrading one package after another to see if that fixes the issue. In the case of slim, disable USE=consolekit.

Created attachment 296525 [details] /etc/slim.conf The content of my "/etc/conf.d/xdm" is only this: CHECKVT=7 DISPLAYMANAGER="slim"
I re-emerged slim with the "-consolekit" USE-flag and now it seems to work correctly. At least, I can mount the flash drive without any problem and the "Shutdown"/"Reboot" buttons are not greyed. Thank you, Vladimir
I guess that consolekit patch needs more work, then, or the xdm script or slim itself should make sure that consolekit is running?
Could you post the content of your ~/.xinitrc ? Since you are not using the Xsession script installed by slim, this is probably the issue. IE, if your ~/.xinitrc did not include a source'ing of /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/* or at minimum the inclusion of "dbus-launch --exit-with-session" prepended to your session command, then consolekit won't work. Alternatively, please update your slim.conf so that it matches the default (i.e., using etc-update or dispatch-conf)
This slim.conf is actually very old (circa 1.3.2-r3 or earlier); there could be multiple issues within this file. Please update and try again.

The wiki is very out of date. With the settings you were/are using, if you had checked the output of ck-list-session at the time, you would have actually noticed that the current ck-session was actually invalid, however the pass-throughs would still work (at least with xfce -- iirc they didn't work so well in gnome). It was a case of two wrongs making something that worked. The current default and entirely built-in support, which is described in the elog / post-install message, has 'correct' consolekit support (that is, IS_LOCAL=TRUE and ACTIVE=TRUE in ck-list-session) and also should work out of the box.

That Wiki says that it is written for the version 1.3.2-r6. It does not seem to be very old version, or is it? Anyway, I (of course) read the post-installation message for slim and the example xinitrc file as well. My setup seems to match the one described there. Or am I missing something? Thanks. Vladimir
There is no example xinitrc in the post-install message, so I'm not sure what it was you were reading. The Wiki, however, was out of date. It was partially updated to mention the newer SLiM version, but the setup described did not match that version's capabilities. I have updated that page to better reflect how things work with the newer versions. It should be noted, though, that any version of gentoo-wiki is not official documentation and although it can be a good reference, if there are issues resulting from following the instructions on the wiki this isn't actually a bug. So in summary, update config files using dispatch-conf or etc-update, and set your default session using the standard Gentoo / Xorg ways (via ~/.xsession or the XSESSION environment variable), and you'll be good to go.

Alternatively, you can re-enable USE="consolekit" , remove the ck-launch-session stuff from your ~/.xinitrc , and experiment with it until you get dbus launching and your ck-list-session shows just one session with both IS_LOCAL=TRUE and ACTIVE=TRUE.

Wait a minute. So should I enable the "consolekit" USE-flag or disable it? What is the normal case?
The normal case is: 1- if you want to use consolekit (and you have that USE flag enabled globally), to have USE="consolekit" for slim. 2- using the default slim.conf 3- specifying your default session through the ~/.xsession file or through the XSESSION global variable, as per gentoo / Xorg standards.
All right. Here's what caused the problem: I had a DEFAULT_SESSION="ck-launch-session startxfce4" line in my ~/.xinitrc file and did not realize that if I didn't state the DE I want Slim to launch explicitly (i.e. by pressing F1), it uses this variable. So now I have the following ~/.xinitrc file contents: DEFAULT_SESSION="startxfce4" case $1 in Xfce4) exec startxfce4 ;; awesome) lilyterm --tab 5 --user_profile /home/vova/.config/lilyterm.conf & exec awesome ;; *) exec $DEFAULT_SESSION ;; esac And everything works fine with "consolekit" USE-flag enabled so far. Thanks again! Vladimir
