Bug 349996 – x11-apps/xdm and sys-auth/consolekit problems

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Michal Kurgan 2010-12-28 23:55:40 UTC]

It looks that even after all required customization (system-login, ck-launch-session, kernel AUDIT support, USE flags) as per other related bugs, xdm and consolekit does not work well.

When i login with xdm active/is-local remains FALSE. When i will do terminal login and then startx active/is-local indicate correctly TRUE for x11 session. In the case i have both terminal and x11 session returned by the ck-list-sessions as per http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=342291#c1.

It appears that i either miss something to have working consolekit and xdm or there are other required customizations for PAM/other configuration.

If there is anything that i can do to further debug problem to find the issue on my system, or maybe this configuration (use graphical xdm for login) is not supported?

Ok, RESOLVED as NEEDINFO, but what information is needed?

You haven't found the issue, your Description says, and the Summary doesn't describe a single issue either. Please reopen this bug report when you have edited both to describe a single issue (one that isn't covered in other single issue bug reports either).

Problem is that using xdm renders consolekit session that is nor active, nor local as it suppose to be. Following directions from related bugs to remove nox11 from system-login file and making sure other required configuration is there does not fix the wrong behaviour of xdm and consolekit.

This is exactly what i reported in Description, as i don't want to play word games with bug-wranglers i leave it as it is.
