Which runlevel did you put your script on? You probably want it on sysinit, rather than default. Also, you can put rc_before= and rc_after= in the corresponding /etc/conf.d/ file and make sure it runs before your syslog but after your sysfs. On Sun, Aug 25, 2013 at 12:04 PM, wrote: > Hi, > > Th

This would be a lot less of an issue if someone just wrote a logind ebuild (wink wink) that provides consolekit like it was originally intended. But yeah you usually stay away from unmaintained upstreams. On Jul 22, 2013 11:03 PM, "Canek Peláez Valdés" wrote: > > ConsoleKit is for all practical

Btw, rather than directly opening a terminal window, you may want to use the notify-send api / command line to do your popup. That way it gets rendered natively by your desktop of choice, and you don't have to fuss about searching which DISPLAY variable X is running on. You can do something like n

TLDR: because systemd replaces consolekit with logind, programs that depend on consolekit to determine which "session" they're in may fail to do so unless they are also built with systemd support and the relevant pam session lines are enabled. This causes several silent failures and may prevent you
