Tips and tricks for ConsoleKit, PolicyKit, and udev helpers

Hello,

I use Xfce 4.8 and i scrupulously respect what it was said in this sticky. I still can't have an active session despite many reinstallations of Xfce's core packages and udev, dbus etc.

@Fenril

I've just completed installation of Xfce4 4.8 stable version. I didn't run it yet but I note that lxpolkit is still in testing ant it's supposed to be a requirement as per suominen's tip. So maybe your problem is a policies one that is you need permissions handled by lxpolkit.

Thunar is part of xfce4-meta installation but not thunar-volman.

:!:

I really don't understand why people move something to stable while some requirements as it is the case here (lxpolkit) remain in testing.

About xfce-session and ck-launch-session...

In order to get it working with SLiM, besides installing the apps posted, I had to edit the file: /etc/X11/Sessions/Xfce4 and replace the contents with:

Very interesting sticky indeed :lol:

.
Although I still fear to make the jump, expecting the following issues :

rffkill seems to be supported by hal (only?)
pcmanfm automount also seems to be in the same situation.
availability of Suspend/Hibernate features at logoff

Any experience in this respect?

Any information regarding such a migration in a Lxde environment are welcomed.

Thanks for your attention.

Thanks for your extensive reply

So I was doing it wrong from the start :lol:

(automouting with pcmanfm activated hal use flag).
As rfkill may remain a issue for a while, I'm thinking of migrating anyhow but keeping hal for what remains unsupported elsewhere.
That would be at least a step forward to a hal free environment.

Thanks for your attention, interest and support.

Edit : should read automouting with gvfs activated hal use flag

I'm using pcmanfm-0.9.8 without hal, polkit agents or gvfs and it mounts removable or disk partitions just fine.

I disable automounting (my choice), but it has no problem with it, AFAIK.

It seems to be using udisks and it's daemon.

polkitd is running, but I'm not running anything like polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1

I don't remember who gave me this advice, but I got it on #gentoo. If you create the following files then you will be able to mount/unmount removable drives using udisks.
/etc/polkit-1/localauthority.conf.d/50-localauthority.conf

Thanks for all the tips ssuominen. It's working on a LXDE box and a XFCE box for me.

I gave it a try. But in the end to complicated in my environment :cry:

I may be not clever enough :oops:

I will wait the hal free track to get more mature :roll:

Good luck to everyone

Thanks for your attention.

Hi guys!

I have followed the sticky to the letter and I can't enable reboot and shutdown buttons...
In fact, I am not able to get 2 sessions on ck-list-session
