ConsoleKit not found active [SOLVED]

So I decided to try out quick-init which didn't work for me. I uninstalled and restored my inittab, but now I cannot get the kdm login. I can still login to a console and start kde with startx or xinit.

When I'm in, I don't have any shutdown options, only the option to logout. dbus and hal are both loaded, but when looking at the power management section under the system settings I see the following:

ConsoleKit was not found active on your PC, or PowerDevil cannot contact it.

I've looked around, but I have yet to find any solution to this problem. Thanks.

Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals... except the weasel.

Re: ConsoleKit not found active [SOLVED]

So I was able to solve this on my own. I changed by inittab from runlevel 3 to 5, and selected the kdm respawn option.

...

## Only one of the following two lines can be uncommented!
# Boot to console
#id:3:initdefault:
# Boot to X11
id:5:initdefault:

...

# Example lines for starting a login manager
#x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/xdm -nodaemon
#x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/gdm -nodaemon
x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/kdm -nodaemon
#x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/slim >& /dev/null

And I also edited my grub boot list to automatically boot to runlevel 5:

# (0) Arch Linux
title  Arch Linux
root   (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/431e03d7-545c-4372-8710-c3f30221dd35 ro 5
initrd /kernel26.img
