Hi Yves-Alexis,
Bug report should be renamed to:
"no consolekit session available when libpam-systemd is
present" (not libpam-consolekit).
Following
https://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-systemd-maintainers/2013-November/000812.html
that states that there is no problem to have consolekit and
libpam-systemd together, I tried a modified version of lightdm that
allows it (pach in attachment).
Note that one can achieve the same after installing libpam-ck-connector
(+removing the nox11 option) and
tweaking /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90consolekit so that consolekit is run
unconditionally.
So far i had no problem running lightdm+xfce4-session with
consolekit only installed as well as with consolekit+libpam-systemd
installed. Test is not extensive (restart, shutdown, udisk are ok).
Given my poor coding experience, writing that patch looks too obvious
and I suspect I may have missed something, then I recommend to review it
carefully (upstream, maybe ?) in case you intend to use it.
BTW, this is unrelated because it affects lightdm and xfce4-session
versions already in archive, when libpam-systemd is installed, if I
leave a session and log in again, loginctl shows previous sessions on
the same seat. Example:
$: loginctl -a
SESSION UID USER SEAT
1 1000 pascal seat0
2 1000 pascal seat0
c3 102 lightdm seat0
3 1000 pascal seat0
4 sessions listed.
$: ck-list-sessions
Session6:
unix-user = '1000'
realname = ''
seat = 'Seat1'
session-type = ''
active = TRUE
x11-display = ':0'
x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7'
display-device = ''
remote-host-name = ''
is-local = TRUE
on-since = '2013-11-28T20:37:11.191451Z'
login-session-id = '3'
I would have expected seeing only one session for the user (assuming
previous sessions have ended). I do not know if it is the normal
behavior or not and I do not know who to blame (lightdm or
xfce-session ?). I can open a bug report for that if you wish.
Regards
Pascal Dormeau
