In current default configuration, the elogind package will just install all the libraries and start the daemon. But the pam module is not enabled. With that combination I was able to install and use gnome-session with USB mounting and Shutdown/Reboot. But with this configuration, elogind is practically disabled, because it does not know about the session. (I have also installed consolekit, which takes care of these tasks. Fun fact: although gnome-sessions requires logind, it also works without having it really enabled. So why depend on it? :-) When elogind pam module is enabled, the session is correctly registered with elogind. This can be done by following steps: - invoke "sudo pam-auth-update' and enable elogind - log out and log in again - invoke 'loginctl', the session should be listed But now, at least for my system, neither USB mounting nor Shutdown/Reboot buttons work. I think this is because the session is not known by consolekit anymore, so enabling elogind pam breaks consolekit sessions. This is the first thing to investigate. I don't know the reason for this, yet. Maybe the situation improves when using consolekit2, maybe consolekit and elogind can not be used at the same time. (Until now i thought they are 'orthogonal' to each other) So testing should focus on (preferably with both of the configurations elogind fully enabled and only installed): - Mounting devices as user, shutdown/reboot/suspend - Functionallity of Gnome and other X sessions (I'm on KDE mainly) Nevertheless there is more to do: - Rebuild udisks2 with logind support should fix the mounting issue because udisk could ask logind for permissions then. Maybe this breaks consolekit? - figure out how Shutdown/Reboot can be fixed with logind, maybe upower is the solution. > Thanks a lot to Andreas for the great job, and to those who helped him > in the process!

Re: [DNG] machine locks up switching between console and X session
What hardware are you using? I suspect the problem is with the nouveau driver, I had issues like this with my graphics card until reclocking support was finished. Nouveau has limited support for some of the newer cards (pascal if I remember) because nvidia hasn't released the signed firmware yet. The result is low clock speeds on the graphics card, and similar issues to what you're having. Try with the official NVIDIA drivers and see what happens. https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers Thanks, chillfan >I have some new hardware that locks up a lot with Ascii.

[DNG] machine locks up switching between console and X session
I have some new hardware that locks up a lot with Ascii. Sometimes it happens on its own, other times it seems it can be triggered by going to the console (ctrl-alt-f1 for example) and back to the X session (ctrl-alt-f7). Any suggestions about how to diagnose or fix or work around this? I'm not a hardware person at all. Below is an excerpt from kern.log capturing such a lockup which happened at 14 past the hour.

Thanks. Glad you liked it. I cleaned up the log for readability and added a bit on cleaning up *.dpkg* files. I've also written a separate post on some of the "issues" I ran into. https://paddy-hack.gitlab.io/posts/a-fortnight-with-ascii/ Happy to see that the theme issues (the ones I noticed at least) are all fixed in clearlooks-phenix-darkpurpy. @golinux: Thanks!

However, how would one go about actually testing it? The system uses lightdm as the DM and XFCE as DE, but not much in terms of bells and whistles. Think of it as a radically stripped down version of my actual desktop kitchen-sink: 907 vs. 3146 installed packages. Any hints or directions what packages or functionalities could be tried out to give elogind a spin?

[DNG] elogind available in experimental and ascii-proposed
Dear D1rs, as recently discussed, our Andreas Messer has worked on packaging elogind in the last few days. elogind is a replacement for the "logind" systemd component, maintained by the Gentoo folks, and should in theory allow packages which need libpam-systemd and logind services to be installed on Devuan without problems (and without requiring libpam-systemd itself) The package is now available in Devuan in "ascii-proposed" and "experimental". Please test it extensively and report any issue on bugs.devuan.org. @Andreas: please indicate if there are specific things/combintions to be tested. @Adam Borowski: The version in experimental could in theory be proposed for inclusion in Debian. Thanks a lot to Andreas for the great job, and to those who helped him in the process!
