Last console kit package upgrade broke permissons in Gnome

inz.mamon · 2011-01-29 21:28:54

Today, after upgrade and reboot I wasn't able to use network manager connections nor shutdown the system as regular user in Gnome. I linked the problem with console kit which was upgraded to 0.4.3. Logging in to Gnome as root, gave me full permission, of course. Downgrading to version 0.4.1 fixed the problem.
Anyone had similiar issues with console kit?

update:

since 31.01.2011 update for slim to ver. 1.3.2-3 it's workin (at leas for me)
I reopened the topic as requested by some users.

Moderator edit: there's no use in using all kind of custom flags, just remove [Solved] if you reopened the topic, don't start putting in stuff like [Reopened] or [Not fixed], that's not helping anyone. Thank you.

what is your login method to gnome?

what is your .xinitrc?

what is your shadow package version?

slim is broken and it would be broken. i suggest to use lxdm because has built-in support for consolekit or directly gdm.

to prove yourself that is broken, just use startx and you'll see that everything is all right

Wonder,
verified. You were right. Both ways, lxdm or startx work fine. I really liked the simplicity of slim, though.
Well, maybe SLiM will get updated in the future. Then I'll go back to it. For now, I'm gonna stick to lxdm.

Thank you for clearing things up.

I have the same problem but also with startx:

inittab: x:5:once:/bin/su myname -l -c "/bin/bash --login -c /usr/bin/startx >/dev/null 2>&1"
xinitrc: exec ck-launch-session gnome-session
shadow: 4.1.4.2-4
consolekit: 0.4.3-1

Same problem here, thanks inz.mamon for your helpful post, I'm using xmonad with some gnome tools, launching it in xinitrc with:

exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session xmonad

After updating, Nautilus and udisks tool stopped mounting my usb devices (not enough privileges error), I'm not in the storage group but, in any case, previously it worked (and adding my user to this group doesn't solves anything). Downgrading consolekit also worked for me.

Pd. HAL daemon is disabled in my system.

Same problem here using startx from inittab ie:

inittab: x:5:once:/bin/su myname -l -c "/bin/bash --login -c /usr/bin/startx >/dev/null 2>&1"

And then ck-launch-session gnome-session in xinitrc. Guess I'll switch back to gdm...

wonder · 2011-01-30 15:29:57

i guess is something wrong with that command.

su myname -l
that's starting a login shell
-c "bash --login..."
a second login.

try removing the second --login and see if is working

legolas558 · 2011-01-30 16:08:57

There is nothing solved here, and I cannot understand why you closed my topic.

I am affected by a totally different problem.

Please re-open the topic which I have already opened

wonder · 2011-01-30 16:17:04

@legolas558 maybe you want to describe your setup better?

legolas558 · 2011-01-30 16:30:02

@wonder: sure, but in the topic which I have already opened, why shall we pollute this one since I have a different setup? I am using Xfce 4.8 with thunar-volman and dbus. I have udev on my system but not HAL neither gvfs and I would like to have the removable devices easily mountable as they were before.

If you think this applies to this same topic, then let's speak about it here.

In my previously open topic I have already specified my .xinitrc startup line

Thanks

wonder · 2011-01-30 16:42:36

no way you will be able to do it without installing gvfs.

I have to say nothing what was posted help me with mounting usb pendrives
When i upgraded system mounting external volumes stopped to work, pendrive is showing in side panel in pcmanfm but there also pop ups dialog window with "Authentication is required" text
I have compiz standalone with pcmanfm, I don't use hal, dbus is in daemons array in rc.conf, udev and udisks installed
I log in by startx, my .xinitrc looks like this

#!/bin/sh

# launch the window manager
exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session start-fusion.sh
if which dbus-launch >/dev/null && test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"; then
       eval "$(dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session)"
fi

start-fusion.sh consist of

#!/bin/bash
emerald &
nitrogen --restore &
setxkbmap pl &
#udiskie &
tint2 &
wicd-gtk &
volwheel &
exec compiz ccp --replace --indirect-rendering

I was using udiskie later to mount pendrive but it stopped to work for me also after last upgrade.
Downgrade any of packages (consolekit, udev, udisks) doesn't work too.

Maybe someone have an idea what to do to make it work like before.

PS I read all topics from last few days but there is no tip working in my situation.

I had the same problem, and I solved it by editing /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks.policy and replacing all instances of "<allow_any>no</allow_any>" with "<allow_any>yes</allow_any>".

I've been doing some modifications to all these org.freedesktop files as was recommended in other threads, but did not notice this one. I'll give it a try, thanks Hukka!

ADD// everything modified to <allow_any>yes</allow_any> with no change, I still get the Not Authorized window.

I agree, this should be re-opened as in the issue is not solved.

It definitely looks like an issue with Polkit, as everything that uses it is not working properly. Shutdown buttons missing / Not authorized errors in NetworkManager etc.

I have noticed that if I log out of gnome and run startx again, everything is working. So what's the difference between inittab and startx ?

jocheem67 · 2011-01-31 07:13:07

I downgraded consolekit for now.
Problem here as described in topicstart: gnome -- slim >> not authorized as user..

As wonder states getting rid of slim for now, would be a solution. But I really like it..

RkG · 2011-01-31 08:55:02

A bug with a patch is already filled about this problem, very well explained. Maybe we could vote for it.

It's unfortunate for me I guess the above patch doesn't apply- I'm not using xfce.

I switched back to gdm as a daemon, instead of booting directly with inittab -> startx

Launching gdm from rc.conf solves 2 problems for me, this issue and an occasional freeze with kms when shutting down. I may have lost a second or 2 from my boot up time, but at least it gets around 2 bugs.

harri · 2011-01-31 13:41:12

I have had the same problem but fixed it with downgrading consolekit. Only problem now is that the keyring is no longer automatically entered. anyone know how to fix it?

nstoyanov · 2011-01-31 17:33:28

I think I figured out the problem of not being able to mount removable devices! The wiki suggestion to put "dbus-launch" in .xinitrc is the culprit, at least in my case. I have dbus in rc.d, and in .xinitrc I have only "exec ck-launch-session startxfce4." Everything works as expected, even the weather plugin (which would mess up if "dbus-launch" is in .xinitrc as well). Removing "dbus-launch" from .xinitrc also speeds up the start time of Xfce significantly!

Good luck.

PS. I am talking about the issue with Thunar reported in this incorrectly closed thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=112667. The thread also incorrectly links to this one.

guys, stop messing the polkit files. that is not the right way.

if you guys still have problems while with consolekit 0.4.1 works, then is all about shadow. I think you guys didn't merged /etc/pam.d/login.pacnew

ernia · 2011-01-31 20:33:12

i don't have any /etc/pam.d/login.pacnew .
reading the bug https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/22671 i've made some test.
using slim and consolekit 0.4.1-4 i have

fabio@s10 ~]$ ck-list-sessions | grep is-local
    is-local = TRUE

while the same command with consolekit 0.4.3.1 give me

[fabio@s10 ~]$ ck-list-sessions | grep is-local
    is-local = FALSE

either with exec ck-launch-session startlxde or exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session startlxde.
if i run startx i have is-local=TRUE with exec ck-launch-session while dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session seems to launch two sessions, i have two rows with is-local=TRUE.
the proposed fix does not fix slim, so i'll go for startx or will stay with old consolekit or i will give a try to lxdm, even if i don't like it

wonder · 2011-01-31 20:37:13

@ernia if you have slim that's the problem. You don't have to test anything more.

slim is faulty don't use and don't try to spam forums trying to debug more. An update will come later to fix this
