I don't have a separate user/group for KDM, and it's working fine. > I have a Console kit error dialog on login saying Warning: Cannot open > ConsoleKit session: Unable to execute program > /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper: Success > > This I have traced to dbus not started, but I have dbus starting run the > init scripts at boot through the blfs-bootscripts. > > Also in the kdm log it has klauncher kdemain: No DBUS session-bus found. > Check if you have started the DBUS server. > > I know that dbus is indeed started but how does one check to see if a > dbus session exists? > > This is what I think this problem resolves to. > If anyone has a link to all this dbus stuff I would like to get that so > I can read up on dbus. KDM starts a consolekit session automatically, if consolekit was installed when building kde-workspace. I think your error is related to d-bus. The d-bus sytem-wide bus should be started in your bootscripts and will be running as user messagebus. The d-bus session bus can be start in various ways and will be running as the logged in user. I use a method derived from this link for starting the session bus: http://www.howtoforge.com/dbus_kde_integration which I found works well and results in a single d-bus session process. Basically, kdm launches this script when starting a session: $KDE_PREFIX/share/config/kdm/Xstartup And this script when stopping a session: $KDE_PREFIX/share/config/kdm/Xreset So these can be used to start/stop d-bus. > Also I heard but have not been able to confirm that ConsoleKit is not > required anymore as PolicyKit has all the ConsoleKit stuff.

As Armin stated, if you do not use systemd, you need consolekit for kde. -Ragnar- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
