In current default configuration, the elogind package will just install all the libraries and start the daemon. But the pam module is not enabled. With that combination I was able to install and use gnome-session with USB mounting and Shutdown/Reboot. But with this configuration, elogind is practically disabled, because it does not know about the session. (I have also installed consolekit, which takes care of these tasks. Fun fact: although gnome-sessions requires logind, it also works without having it really enabled. So why depend on it? :-) When elogind pam module is enabled, the session is correctly registered with elogind. This can be done by following steps: - invoke "sudo pam-auth-update' and enable elogind - log out and log in again - invoke 'loginctl', the session should be listed But now, at least for my system, neither USB mounting nor Shutdown/Reboot buttons work. I think this is because the session is not known by consolekit anymore, so enabling elogind pam breaks consolekit sessions. This is the first thing to investigate. I don't know the reason for this, yet. Maybe the situation improves when using consolekit2, maybe consolekit and elogind can not be used at the same time. (Until now i thought they are 'orthogonal' to each other) So testing should focus on (preferably with both of the configurations elogind fully enabled and only installed): - Mounting devices as user, shutdown/reboot/suspend - Functionallity of Gnome and other X sessions (I'm on KDE mainly) Nevertheless there is more to do: - Rebuild udisks2 with logind support should fix the mounting issue because udisk could ask logind for permissions then. Maybe this breaks consolekit? - figure out how Shutdown/Reboot can be fixed with logind, maybe upower is the solution. > Thanks a lot to Andreas for the great job, and to those who helped him > in the process! I'm passing these flowers back to you ;-) cheers, Andreas -- gnuPG keyid: 8C2BAF51 fingerprint: 28EE 8438 E688 D992 3661 C753 90B3 BAAA 8C2B AF51
