I've been looking at ConsoleKit because it is giving me problems. I
don't use pam, so I built with:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--localstatedir=/var \
--libexecdir=/usr/lib/ConsoleKit \
--enable-udev-acl
We have a statement in the book:
See /usr/share/doc/ConsoleKit/spec/ConsoleKit.html for more configuration.
That file is not built or installed unless the option
--enable-docbook-docs is used in the configure. Also, this appears to
be API documentation and does not seem to help with configuration.
In any case, I'm having a problem with xfce startup. I'm using a simple
startxfce4 command, but after the screen starts, there is a delay with
the power manager for about 20 seconds. I don't really need the power
manager because there is no battery. It's a wired only system.
In any case, thee is a log entry:
Aug 7 14:22:12 blfs dbus[1527]: [system] Successfully activated service
'org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1'
Aug 7 14:22:12 blfs dbus[1527]: [system] Activating service
name='org.freedesktop.UPower' (using servicehelper)
Aug 7 14:22:12 blfs dbus[1527]: [system] Successfully activated service
'org.freedesktop.UPower'
Aug 7 14:22:13 blfs dbus[1527]: [system] Activating service
name='org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit' (using servicehelper)
Aug 7 14:22:38 blfs dbus[1527]: [system] Failed to activate service
'org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit': timed out
Looking at /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ConsoleKit.conf, I see:
<!-- Only root can own the service -->
<policy user="root">
<allow own="org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit"/>
<!-- Allow all methods on interfaces -->
<allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit"/>
</policy>
but org.freedesktop.UPower.conf says the same thing about UPower.
Does anyone have suggestions about how to avoid the ConsoleKit dbus timeout?
