First, I'd like to clarify that all my concern was with the book and
users. I was not using a DM and will get this host back to have runlevel
3 as default. I don't like PAM, consolekit, Openbox with a good panel is
enough for me. I am using much more than I wanted, for the BLFS
development sake. many of these minimalistic preferences were dictated
when I barely could build LFS. Others, Ken, DJ, Andy and last but not
least, Bruce convinced me how useless they really are. This was years
ago, although i still modify some preferences, after their examples.
Agree. We are doing this for the book and not for us personally.
OK. I will describe all I can remember. Some are minor things forgotten,
other are important and required, other are important, but optional.
1. Consolekit2
If I had had the courage to install consolekit2, when I tested
sddm-0.12.0, would not have discussed so much nor wasted so many days
from us all. :-(
I tested sddm-0.12.0, last week
There is one line to be removed before autogen.sh.
There is no autogen.sh:
s/sh autogen.sh/./configure/
Yes, you are right. Can you fix it please. There was a bz2 version and
a gz version. The gz version needed autogen.sh and at the last minute I
changed the book to the bz2 version.
One directory is missing: /var/run/ConsoleKit
Good spot.
From here on, now Consolekit2 and new sddm are installed:
09/18/15 08:50 consolekit2-1.0.0
06/15/15 11:51 lxsession-0.5.2
09/18/15 09:45 lxsession-0.5.2-2
09/18/15 13:10 sddm-0.12.0
2. SDDM-0.12.0
2.1
It didn't work as Bruce described, with no greyed option in the xfce4
logout.
Tried LXDE:
$ cat sddm-lxde-consolekit-error.log
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.GeneralError: Unable to
lookup session information for process '7367'
After reinstalling lxsession (see above) and getting the same error,
concluded that the problem, although consolekit2 releated, should be in
sddm. (again).
And the reason is very simple: sddm now works with consolekit, but the
session needs to launched with it:
If I don't mention, the following must be done before "make build".
# Start session with consolekit2 - this is required or at least
# recommended
sed -e 's/eval exec/& ck-launch-session /' \
-i data/scripts/Xsession &&
2.2
Then, I had already mentioned that there was a fix to remove wpowerd
from the bootscript.
Actually, I never liked that, because from the manpage:
{{{
DESCRIPTION
upowerd provides the org.freedesktop.UPower service on the system
message bus. *Users or administrators should never need to start*
this daemon as it will be automatically started by dbus-daemon(1)
whenever an application calls into the org.freedesktop.UPower
service.
}}}
# Start greeter with upowerd, without the need to
# start it in bootscript - Required
sed -e '/UPOWER_SERVICE)/ s:^://:' \
-i.orig src/daemon/PowerManager.cpp &&
This implies, that the bootscript needs to be modified, to refer just to
sddm (first form released).
2.3 Optional:
# Remove "-nolisten tcp"
# DAEMON: Running: /usr/bin/X :0 -auth /var/run/sddm/:0 -nolisten
# tcp -background none -noreset vt7
# https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/325 and Numlock on as default.
# Set numlock on by default.
sed -e 's|-nolisten tcp||'\
-e 's/\"none\"/\"on\"/' \
-i.orig data/man/sddm.conf.rst.in &&
sed -e 's|-nolisten tcp||'\
-e 's/ NUM_NONE/ NUM_SET_ON/' \
-i src/common/Configuration.h &&
nolisten tcp apparently prevents ssh -X connections.
That's just for remote connection to Xorg, not a simple ssh connection.
sshd needs to find xauth at login to allow a typical X application
like xclock to work.
In the ssh serve config, /etc/ssh/sshd_config, I have the line
XAuthLocation /opt/xorg/bin/xauth
Of course that's not needed if Xorg is installed in /usr.
If you wish default off, replace \"on\" by \"off\" and NUM_SET_ON by
NUM_SET_OFF. As is, it defaults to do nothing.
2.4 Optional
# Start greeter with desired locales
sed -e '/Xsetup/ a setxkbmap "fr,gb,br,us"' \
-i.orig data/scripts/Xsetup &&
or any other list or one only locale, suitable for the user.
2.5 Required: Add switch to cmake
-DDBUS_CONFIG_FILENAME=sddm_org.freedesktop.DisplayManager.conf
Reason is that other display managers use
org.freedesktop.DisplayManager.conf
I think that is all.
Go ahead and make any changes you think are appropriate. I'm going to
tag lxde with a minor change to the Starting LXDE section as I said in
another post.
