an emerge --info would be nice even if it sounds useless for you.
consolekit init.d daemon starts ok for me. Please drop "-q/--quiet" from init.d script for seeing the exact error (in my case, it was failing because there was another consolekit daemon instance already running, the problem is that I still don't know what launched it :-/)
Even if the patch is small, a unified diff would be better (diff -u), imho.
Created attachment 203780 [details, diff] init.diff OK, this is the patch in unified mode
Seems that there are two problems here: 1. consolekit init.d script is not really working as pidfile is not properly specified, then, "consolekit stop" won't kill it. Provided patches solve this 2. The second problem is that hald launches itself a console-kit-daemon instance, then, if a user manually tries to run: /etc/init.d/consolekit start it will fail because another instance is already running :-/
Adding --oknodo should solve that problem also :-/, but, why is hald not starting "consolekit" with its init.d file as hald init.d file has "use consolekit" ?
Created attachment 203783 [details] init.diff This should work fine now
I don't see where the problem should be. If consolekit is installed at boot, starting hald will start consolekit via "use consolekit", so that hald doesn't have to spawn it's own consolekit process. If consolekit is not installed at boot, hald can't spawn it manually (since it doesn't exist). The only problem will come when someone has a HAL install which has an older init.d file, in which case it will go away when they upgrade HAL.

The problem is that it is not working, as I say in comment #8, when hald is started, it launches consolekit daemon but doesn't start init.d service :-/

(In reply to comment #13) > sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 It's _possible_ it's a baselayout-related bug. Could you try 1.12.12 ?
I've fixed the obviously wrong pidfile, but --oknodo is deprecated in baselayout 2.0 (doesn't even work). `use consolekit` should mean consolekit *will* be started before hald. If it isn't, a different baselayout-related bug (or similar, depending on the root cause) should be opened. Closing FIXED, thanks for the patches.
