 Posted: Wed Jun 12, 2024 7:32 am Post subject: PolicyKit1 Cannot determine session the caller is in |
 |
|
I've been a happy LXDE user for years, and my previous emerge world was successful last month (including profile 23.0 with split-usr).
Suddenly today after emerge-ing world (using --getbinpkg) LXDE notifies me on login:
| Code: | | GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: Cannot determine session the caller is in |
Furthermore, trying to reboot/power down from the graphical start menu errors with
| Code: | | InteractiveAuthorizationRequired: Interactive Authentication Required |
What might have changed to cause this?
Previously I had problems where using the elogind binary package caused problems with the power/reboot, and re-emerging it from source fixed it.
But now I have manually re-emerged from source elogind, policykit, dbus, lxsession, lxde-common to no avail. I have not changed my rc-update settings, but they are below for reference.
I have searched around various sites to no avail. I don't really know what policykit is really for, and I have no rules for it.
policykit and dbus are in my USE flags.

Although not relevant to your immediate problem, I think membership in group disk is a bad idea. It allows any of your processes to directly read or write attached block devices, bypassing normal filesystem permissions.
For your current problem, does elogind know what session you are in? If elogind does not know, I expect other things would be confused too. |

How would I go about determining this?
I've referred to this:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Elogind
I must confess that the whole interplay between dbus/policykit/elogind/pam is and always has been mysterious, as was consolekit before it.
I do have "elogind", "pam", "dbus" USE flags.
I also have "-systemd" and "-consolekit" so those should not be in the way.
My .xinitrc is:
| Code: |
dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session startlxde |
I haven't played around with hidepid.
fstab has:
| Code: | none /proc proc defaults 0 0
|
loginctl seems to report me OK. Is root supposed to have a session?
| Code: | # loginctl
SESSION UID USER SEAT TTY
2 1000 <username> seat0 tty1
1 sessions listed. |
The XDG env vars are:
| Code: | # env | grep XDG
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg
XDG_MENU_PREFIX=lxde-
XDG_DATA_HOME=/home/<username>/.local/share
XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/home/<username>/.config
XDG_SEAT=seat0
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=tty
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=LXDE
XDG_SESSION_CLASS=user
XDG_VTNR=1
XDG_SESSION_ID=2
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000
XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/share/gdm:/var/lib/menu-xdg:/usr/local/share:/usr/share |
| Code: | # grep -r elogind /etc/pam.d/
/etc/pam.d/elogind-user:session optional pam_elogind.so
/etc/pam.d/system-login:-session optional pam_elogind.so
|
This emerge -puDN world required workarounds for 2 unrelated things:
1. A symlink between /bin/mkdir and /usr/bin/mkdir for dev-ruby/racc
2. Removing ieee1394 from alsa-utils to work around the libffado python-3.12 problem.
| Code: | | >=media-sound/alsa-utils-1.2.11 -ieee1394 |
but neither of these should impact this I think.[/code]
Lastly, emerge --info:
| Code: | # emerge --info

The problem persists even after picking up the latest -r release elogind promotion (from a few days ago).
After even taking a heavy hand and emerge -e world, the problem still persists.
However, downgrading to sys-auth/polkit-123 fixes the problem.
What happened between polkit-123 and polkit-124-r1?

| Thank you! This (downgrading Polkit) just helped me fix the same problem on my computer. It was driving me crazy! |
