[Solved] How to get ELSA running

libernux · 2011-05-28 06:58:37

First get the elsa-svn package from AUR and install it.
Edit the PKGBUILD and change the line : ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr to ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
Now run the pkgbuild.
Install the package with pacman -U elsa-svn......

Edit the file '/etc/pam.d/elsa' and replace it with the following lines :
auth required pam_unix.so
account required pam_unix.so
session required pam_unix.so
password required pam_unix.so

Edit the file '/etc/elsa.conf' and change the following line:
value "daemonize" uchar: 0;

Last thing to do is to add elsa to '/etc/inittab' :

x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/elsa > /dev/null

Now you can enjoy the full beaty of E17 !!!!!!!

I 've found out that the $PATH-settings are not appropiate. The $PATH set is the value of session_path from the elsa.conf file.
When you login as root the sbin-libraries in the path are missing and you can hose your system.
I learned it the hard way during a kernel upgrade.
So the only save way to use elsa at the moment is to use session login.
Therefore you should adjust the following lines in elsa.conf:

value "session_login" string: "exec /bin/bash -login -c '/usr/bin/enlightenment_start'";
value "xsessions" uchar: 0;

I've made a new PKGBUILD for elsa in the AUR.
It should run on Arch without modification.

The package is fixed: I forgot to include 2 files.
I'm sorry.

capoeira · 2011-06-21 16:52:52

elsa is working fine now, thanks

capoeira · 2011-07-13 15:25:51

could the users using elsa post their output of "ulimit -l" please?
I get "64" altough my memlock is configured to "unlimited" in limits.conf
i suspect its an elsa-problem

libernux · 2011-07-13 18:27:29

It is not an elsa problem.
look in this thread [SOLVED] limits.conf issues

as you can see, I wrote in this thread. my problem is another one. funkmuscle just had an error in limits.conf.......my limits.conf has no effect on system

EDIT: I installed slim and the problem is gone, so it is indeed an elsa-bug. should I report this?

You were right about a bug in the elsa build.
I've added ulimit and some other missing things to the elsa.pam file and uploaded the new build files to AUR

I've only updated the PAM file (elsa.pam).
The error you are seeing is because they are reworking some api's in elementary.
It seems that elsa is not totally in sync with elementary.
This has to be fixed upstream.

As a workaround :

If you still have the old elsa-binary than you could copy the elsa.pam from the build-package
into /etc/pam.d/ and rename it to elsa.

Good luck!

must be the old elementary bins than, I use the bins from [community]
