Hi, I have a bit of a trouble with proper policy-kit settings. I’m running a standalone openbox session for desktop usage. For login I have a simple script in my .zprofile file, which will start the X server if I log in from the first virtual terminal (which is what I’m doing 99% of the time). if [[ `tty` == "/dev/tty1" ]]; then startx &! logout fi my xinitrc is the following: exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch openbox-session The problem is that in the X session the consolekit session’s is-local and active properties are FALSE hence the removable device automount breaks (I guess it could affect other things I dont use) If I start the X server with startx manually from the tty2 after logging in, both values will be TRUE and device automounting works fine. Should I switch to a proper login manager or is there a quick/easy fix for this?
I had problems too and the solution I found was to do it like this:
if [[ $(tty) == /dev/tty1 ]]; then startx &> /dev/null & sleep 15 logout fi
The sleep seems to be needed in order for *kit to work. I'm using xfce though.
The sleep is needed to avoid a race condition: logout happens before the policykit starts. What I don't understand is why ck doesn't complain about an empty utmp entry? I though you have to keep your user logged in, so that "w" returns something. I suspect, you won't be able to use Upower to shutdown...

To all: Forgive my noise. Similar problem, probably different solution. PBKAC. Myra -- Life's fun when your sick and psychotic!
