Yes, we had a long thread about that some months ago, around November. Basically, there is lots of stuff that break if you mix up consolekit and systemd (logind, actually). Maybe the situation has improved, but in my case the simplest solution was to purge consolekit from my systems (except in my media center, XBMC still uses its d-bus interfaces). ConsoleKit is unmantained anyway. I have USE="-consolekit" where necessary (basically gdm, pambase and bluez), and USE="systemd" everywhere else. Please note that some packages need to unmask the systemd flag: # cat /etc/portage/profile/package.use.mask media-sound/pulseaudio -systemd net-misc/networkmanager -systemd sys-auth/polkit -systemd sys-fs/udisks -systemd sys-power/upower -systemd I believe polkit is the most important, since it's the one controlling what program can do what, but since I switched completely to systemd years ago, I just use it everywhere. Things "just work" most of the time. > Thanks, Stefan > > ps: my bigger hurdle will be the bridging-setup for running > KVM-virtualization. This was one of the reasons to go back to openrc > back then. I have no experience with that, but if it works in OpenRC it should work in systemd. Probably better, even.
