Package: consolekit Version: 0.4.1-4 If logged in with KDM/GDM or session launched via ck-launch-session process with name "console-kit-daemons" grabs current vt and won't release it until killed manually. This behavior leads to launch impossibility X again in vt7 after stopping.
Steps to reproduce: 1) switch to vt1 for example 2) say /etc/init.d/kdm stop (GDM, XDM, whatever) 3) say /etc/init.d/kdm start (And login manager starts in vt8. try to switch to vt7 and see just blinking cursor) 4) now try deallocvt 7 (and as you can see it is busy) 5) killall console-kit-daemon 6) deallocvt 7 (now it works) 7) /etc/init.d/kdm stop 8) /etc/init.d/kdm start (now it starts in vt7 as expected) Here is a bug filled, but no reaction from freedesktop: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29920 But workaround was suggested in comments there. And another solution: in Gentoo Linux initscript created for consolekit: ======================================================================================== #!/sbin/runscript # Copyright 1999-2006 Gentoo Foundation # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, v2 or later # $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/sys-auth/consolekit/files/consolekit-0.1.rc,v 1.2 2009/09/12 19:46:19 nirbheek Exp $ depend() { need dbus use logger } start() { ebegin "Starting ConsoleKit daemon" start-stop-daemon --start -q \ --pidfile /var/run/ConsoleKit/pid \ --exec /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon -- eend $? } stop() { ebegin "Stopping ConsoleKit daemon" start-stop-daemon --stop -q --pidfile /var/run/ConsoleKit/pid eend $? } ======================================================================================== May be such initscript can be added to consolekit debian package too? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
