Yep, did all of that, amongst about 100 other options, including separating dbus-launch and ck. No matter what happened, I was unable to obtain either local or active session with XDG attributes. > as you see there is full command in the configuration section. > > To get valid session id, you need to use pam_loginuid and > pam_ck_connector in system session OR in login configuration file (the > consolekit pam adition) > Unfortunately, the pam modules don't really make a difference here as they were enabled in the configuration and have already done their job at login. I was using startx from a terminal. There are literally thousands of threads on this topic, and eventually some users are able to make it work, but I (among many others) was able to gain no clear understanding of how. I just got T'd off and let it die. I installed GDM as I couldn't make ConsoleKit play nicely, and all is fine when starting from GDM (as you said earlier). It just works! Other minor issues brought up on -dev for discussion. -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
