Well I can't undelete it now!

I'm using xdm as my login manager and I'm facing the same problems: Getting "Not
authorized" responses from both UPower and UDisks as a normal user with
ck-list-sessions reporting is-local = FALSE. I don't have any .pacnew files
lying around and never touched any file in /etc/pam.d. I start my window manager
using the following:

dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session ck-launch-session awesome

Could someone sum up what the "right" solution is to fix this? If I interpreted
it right, I need to modify /etc/pam.d/login to get this working. Is this the
proper way of solving this problem? What is the reason I suddenly need to modify
this (I'd really like to understand what I'm doing)?

Thanks in advance!

I hacked an "xinitrc.d framework". The details are at
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xi … _Framework. I'm only one
person, so I'd appreciate any comments.

orbisvicis/Yclept Nemo has been working on this for a few days discussing the need for the framework on IRC, hopefully it will be of some use.

I found that bug entry before, yet I don't think this can be considered "the
proper way"® to solve my problem.

This is an interesting read. Awful, how complicated things are getting around
polkit and dbus, but with this wiki article I'll hopefully be able to create a
working .xinitrc tonight. If I read this correctly, it's just a matter of
starting dbus before calling ck-launch-session <wm>...

Thanks to both of you!

Nothing to do with me, I had no idea what he was talking about on IRC initially, I felt bad when I realised hence why I'm spreading the news of his work

Bad luck... My .xinitrc now contains this:

if test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" ; then
        eval $(dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session)
fi

ck-launch-session awesome

I got this from 'man dbus-lauch', just like the posted wiki entry suggests, but
ck-list-sessions still lists my session as inactive and remote:

ck-list-sessions 
Session1:
        unix-user = '1000'
        realname = '(null)'
        seat = 'Seat2'
        session-type = ''
        active = FALSE
        x11-display = ':0'
        x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7'
        display-device = ''
        remote-host-name = ''
        is-local = FALSE
        on-since = '2011-02-08T17:27:34.754389Z'
        login-session-id = '4294967295'

Any hints are welcome...

Edit:

The problem lies with xdm and its handling of consolekit sessions (or lack
thereof). cgarcia has written a patch for the xorg-xdm package that solves my
problems. See this thread for more info.
