Description Sergey S. Starikoff 2012-02-22 16:00:15 UTC
The issue appears both if consolekit started as a dependency or directly (default runlevel).

After boot:
# /etc/init.d/consolekit status
 * status: started

But when I attach USB flash drive and try to mount it, I get error "Not Authorized".

After manual restart of the daemon:
# /etc/init.d/consolekit restart
 * Stopping ConsoleKit daemon ...                                                                        [ ok ]
 * Starting ConsoleKit daemon ...                                                                        [ ok ]
the drive becomes mountable (so, PolicyKit rules are correct and enough).

The issue looks similar with previously reported bug #402347 (difference is in that consolekit fails always, network starts correctly if changed kernel and fails if the same) and perhaps bug #396173

Comment 1 Sergey S. Starikoff 2012-02-26 14:38:24 UTC
Today I've discovered that consolekit (removed from auto-start, waiting start as  a dependency) totally failes to start:

# /etc/init.d/consolekit status
 * status: stopped
# /etc/init.d/consolekit start
 * Starting ConsoleKit daemon ...
 * start-stop-daemon: /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon is already running                                    [ !! ]
 * ERROR: consolekit failed to start

Error looks very similiar with described in bug #396173
The difference is in that apache soon comes into startable state, with consolekit I've failes to do it.
Comment 2 William Hubbs gentoo-dev 2012-02-28 02:40:32 UTC
Is this still an issue with openrc-0.9.9.2?
Comment 3 William Hubbs gentoo-dev 2012-03-03 17:00:47 UTC
I an closing this due to no response from reporter. Please re-open if
this is still an issue with the latest OpenRC.
Comment 4 Sergey S. Starikoff 2012-03-18 15:03:06 UTC
(In reply to comment #2)
> Is this still an issue with openrc-0.9.9.2?

Excuse me for long timeount on response.
It's my home PC, turned on rather rarely.

Resume:
1. consolekit fails to start (even manually) if not listed an auto-start list (i.e. rc-update show);
2. Power management and granting mount privileges (managed by policy kit, with correct rules) works fine independently on status of consolekit daemon (works even if daemon is not started).
3. With sys-apps/openrc-0.9.9.3 the issue was reproduced.
Comment 5 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-05-20 13:21:43 UTC
I don't think this bug has enough information to be processed. 
The reporter will need to do some more debugging on his own.
Comment 6 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-05-20 13:26:57 UTC
Maybe this is a duplicate of bug 369811 ?

Excude for long response.

sys-apps/openrc-0.11.8, similiar issue:
# rc-update show | grep consolekit
(not listed)

But:
# ps ax | grep console-kit
 2775 ?        Sl     0:00 /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon --no-daemon
 4498 pts/0    S+     0:00 grep --colour=auto console-kit
(process is listed)

So, personal init script for consolekit seems to be optional item and could be removed.

In about week or two I can see my another Gentoo installation, where consolekit is autostarted, for some additional info.

init script is the only way to ensure it starts early enough for other services, leaving it for the display manager and/or desktop will only result failures as some of the started services won't be included in the consolekit session
the behavior is undefined, might work for some, propably fails for most

still nothing to go on with in this bug :/
