Hi Colin and all the others,
I recently upgraded a laptop and I also sometimes had the 'can not

If what Colin mentions is true, then would it not help to just disable

Regarding gdm: I think why this is happening despite the fact that
ConsoleKit upstream says that gdm shouldn't be starting CK until X has
started is probably that we're carrying the patch in

Hi Chris,
Nice to see you're back! :-)
I have tried a few things in the sources of consolekit but unfortunately

According to an answer on the consolekit list, "GDM shouldn't be activating

This may thus be a GDM bug (not waiting for X "ready" state before launching
