CTKArch

Hello,

Since I upgrade on Saturday, I can't Shutdown the system or mount my removable devices.
I searched on French or English forum but I can't find the solution.
I found this topic https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=112637&p=1 but CTKarch doesn't use SLIM and I can't find any /etc/pam.d/login.pacnew.

I checked some point and the result of

seems strange as there is two session but I don't know what it means.
[see below]

Does someone had the same problem and could help me?

Bonsoir,

Depuis la mise à jour de samedi, je ne peux plus éteindre mon ordinateur depuis le menu ou monter de disque externe depuis Pcmanfm.
Après recherche sur les forum Arch j'ai trouvé ce topic qui semblait correspondre https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=112637&p=1 mais CTKarch ne semble pas utiliser SLIM et je n'ai pas de trace d'un fichier /etc/pam.d/login.pacnew.

En vérifiant certains points indiqués, le résultat de

me semble étrange car il y a deux sessions mais je ne sais pas ce que cela signifie :

Quelqu'un aurait-il eu le même problème et pourrait m'aider à le résoudre ?
D'avance merci pour votre aide.

Sorry, I don't have the same problem, but I can help you though !
I can already tell you it's normal to have two consolekit sessions.
(it may be confusing, but it's impossible to have only one… I really wanted to.)

Of course, the command is ck-list-sessions.

I'll try to reproduce the problem tomorrow and will keep you informed.

Désolé, je n'ai pas le même problème, mais je peux quand-même t'aider !
Je peux déjà dire que c'est normal d'avoir deux sessions consolekit.
(même si c'est un peu bizarre, il est impossible de n'en avoir qu'une… j'aurais voulu.)

Bien sûr, la commande est ck-list-sessions.

J'essaie de reproduire le problème demain et je te tiens au courant.

EDIT : Est-ce que la mise à jour de consolekit a résolu le problème ?

Hello Calimero,

Unfortunatly the upgrade didn't solve the problem. I have dual boot with CTKarch 0.5 this is the result of

and this is the result (I don't know how to edit my first message to correct):

In this case I have active = TRUE. I think it's the problem. I will try to find how to change it.

Salut Calimero,

Je l'espérais mais la mise à jour n'a rien changé. Comme j'ai gardé CTKarch 0.5 en dual boot j'ai vérifié et tu peux voir le résultat de

Je pense que le problème vient du fait que maintenant j'ai active = FALSE. Je vais faire des recherches de ce côté pour essayer de le modifier.

The penultimate version of consolekit caused this problem, but the latest update (today, or yesterday evening) solved it.
You aren't the only one who experienced that problem!

Now, if you run pacman -Syu and if you didn't hack anything related to consolekit, it must work again.
_________________________

L'avant-dernière mise à jour de consolekit a causé ce problème, mais la toute dernière d'aujourd'hui (ou hier tard), l'a résolu.
Tu n'es pas le seul à avoir eu le problème!

Normalement, si maintenant tu lances pacman -Syu et que tu n'as rien bricolé rapport à consolekit, ça doit fonctionner à nouveau.

It was on wednesday I have now version 0.4.3-2 but the same problem. I didn't hack anything since I didn't know exactly what to do.
I will continue to search.

J'ai bien eu la mise à jour vers la version 0.4.3-2 mais malheureusement cela n'a pas résolu le problème. Comme je ne savais pas quoi faire, je n'ai rien touché à la configuration.
Je vais continuer de chercher.

Okay ! I think I've found.
Edit /etc/pam.d/su and add nox11 at the end of the last line.

Presently, it looks like:
PAM Code:

Change it to:
PAM Code:

Unfortunatly, it doesn't work for me.
Here is my /etc/pam.d/su if you can see something else :

I have to say I'm lost with all these permission.

Thanks for your help.

I forgot to ask : which architecture are you using?
i686 or x64?

I686. Since I have another problem, I will try to reinstall. I can't start X now and I can't find what I changed to have this. Everything is "blocked" at the "CTKarch login". I tried startX as root but it told me that some package were missing. With this new installation I will see if it will solve the problem of authorization.
Will keep you inform.

As I said, I made a new install. But after upgrading, I have the same problem of authorization.

Here is the extract of pacman.log
http://pastebin.com/xUUF5H4e

As I saw that gshadow have a link with users group, I tied to copy /etc/gshadow.pacnew to /etc/gshadow but it didn't solve the problem.
Here is my /etc/gshadow if it can be interesting :
http://pastebin.com/SwmDYT3Y

I will continue to search

[edit Calimero] : use pastebin

Don't search, just rollback consolekit until I can find out what's wrong.

Use the ARM repo in mirrorlist just to reinstall consolekit. (pacman -Syy consolekit after uncommenting it)
Then uncomment an "IgnorePkg =" line in /etc/pacman.conf and use it this way : "IgnorePkg = consolekit"

This is *not* a solution but will allow it to work. Until solved.

Hello Calimero,

I downgrade consolekit as you said and it works now.
We can find this bug on different website and it seems it depends how the session is launched.

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31374
bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=598150

Unfortunatly I don't know how to use these informations.

If you need more information about my system, tell me.

Thanks for your help.

Yep. Don't worry, I was on it.
The fix is as follows:

Create /etc/autostartx containing (change user="arch" to your username):
BASH Code:

Don't forget to chmod +x /etc/autostartx

Logged as your user, run:
BASH Code:


And in /etc/inittab, change:

BASH Code:

to

BASH Code:


Enjoy!
X starts faster and consolekit gives you the auth.

Thanks Calimero, it works perfectly.
For sure, I would never find this. I don't understand what I made.

Offtopic:
What could be great and helpful for users is something in the documentation as "How is build CTKArch" where we can see which choice you made, and why; for the configuration.

P.S. Perhaps this topic should be in the "Bugs" category and not in "User support".

It is user support but it's duplicated in bugs. In fact it's both, for a lot of people could need help on this.
So this topic will remain there.

We can have conferences on #ctkarch on Freenode, with people asking on the chan, and me answering through an audio stream. (I'll make a topic in Community)
Writing a page explaining all the config details and the 'why' for every single one would be a lot of work, and maintaining it would be even worse!

All of my config choices are in the sources, and there is nothing else in them. It's easy for me to upload them, maybe not as easy to read, but…
