[gentoo-user] KDE slow / console-kit-daemon POLKIT_IS_AUTHORITY failed
Hi, hopefully someone can help. I have a system where KDE 4.12.0 / 4.11.5 is very slow. The log contains many message like dbus[1366]: [system] Activated service 'org.freedesktop.login1' failed: Failed to execute program /usr/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper: Success console-kit-daemon[1387]: CRITICAL: polkit_authority_check_authorization: assertion 'POLKIT_IS_AUTHORITY (authority)' failed I have re-emerged sys-apps/dbus dev-libs/dbus-glib sys-auth/polkit-kde-agent as recommended elsewhere but it didn't help. Does anybody know how to fix this? Many thanks for hint, Helmut

That's interesting.

It is the same as on both the working laptop and non-working desktop? Those are the permissions set by the dbus install, but one computer objects to it.

VlC is compiled with dvb. Mplayer want not compiled give error messages. The Problem is that this stick is in System as keyboard. I take in and change my keyboard layout. Wscan want not install.

Thanks for the help, so far. I spent a lot of Sunday evening trying to locate executables/libraries which still invoke kdeinit4 and qdbus. To no avail. Next bright idea: why don't I emerge these two binaries again? This will surely help me locate the offending binaries, and even if it doesn't, might get my X working again as a workaround. > qdbus comes from qtdbus, it was pulled in by KDE way back when. I've emerged qtdbus, and the "qdbus" error message has gone. But I can't for the life of me locate the package containing kdeinit4. I've looked through /usr/portage/kde-base/, but can't identify the KDE base package I need. equery only works on already emerged packages.

Helmut is still using consolekit. Are you still using consolekit? I have no idea if consolekit is relevant here, but Canek has been telling us that consolekit is abandonware and we should stop depending on it.
[gentoo-user] Nvidia and poor codec performance (sync)
Dear list, I'm having problem to watch videos on Gentoo, since I can't remember. I got stripes all the time, but it get worse iv the scene is fast. A couple days ago, a friend borrowed my Nvidia gt 240, and I started to use my at-least-seven-year-old onboard Intel card. For my surprise, I can watch any videos without problem. Unfortunately I didn't get my card back to do some testing, but I'd like to share it with you to see if someone had any similar problem. My system is ~amd64, including the nvidia-drivers.

[gentoo-user] Anyone using open-vm-tools w/ESXi?
Hi all, I managed to drag several 3+ year old gentoo webserver installs to current. That was an interesting experience. I'd say it was difficult and time-consuming but not impossible. ;-) Believe me, they were kicking and screaming the whole way. These are all virtualized under ESXi now so I did some reconfiguration and decided to add open-vm-tools for shutdown support through the host. All items for vmware are built into the kernel, and the VMs are working as they should. Well, except for starting vmware-tools: vmsvc[1297]: [ warning] [GLib-GObject] invalid (NULL) pointer instance vmsvc[1297]: [critical] [GLib-GObject] g_signal_emit_by_name: assertion `G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed I've tried rebuilding glib but no luck. I haven't tried changing the USE flags on glib as of yet (just thought of that now, actually...) It doesn't seem to affect the host shutdown (which is what I initially wanted) but it probably shouldn't be crashing. I have a feeling it may have something to do with VMCI. I have 5 or 6 gentoo installs running under ESXi, some were new (started off a new stage3) and they all have this problem. It's not show-stopping by any means, but has anyone found a solution? Google has not been so helpful here as most reponses I've found affect Windows. Dan
