[solved]Question about how Console Kit & Slim/OpenBox is running

I am trying to make sure I have things setup properly and following the wiki for consolekit I am not getting the same results as it states I should on the wiki.
I am running up to date 3.2.5-1x86, openbox, slim. When I run ck-list-sessions I get

Session2:
	unix-user = '1000'
	realname = '(null)'
	seat = 'Seat1'
	session-type = ''
	active = TRUE
	x11-display = ':0.0'
	x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7'
	display-device = ''
	remote-host-name = ''
	is-local = TRUE
	on-since = '2012-02-10T00:13:08.208086Z'
	login-session-id = '1'
Session1:
	unix-user = '1000'
	realname = '(null)'
	seat = 'Seat2'
	session-type = ''
	active = FALSE
	x11-display = ':0.0'
	x11-display-device = ''
	display-device = ''
	remote-host-name = ''
	is-local = TRUE
	on-since = '2012-02-10T00:13:07.547182Z'
	login-session-id = '1'

According to the wiki I should getting some kind of output in the following sections

realname = '(null)'
x11-display-device = ''
display-device = ''

wiki shows it should be something like

realname = 'Your Name'
x11-display-device = '/dev/tty2'
display-device = '/dev/tty1'

I am guessing realname is null since I have not put a realname in the system for the user?

Does this mean I have broken ConsoleKit some how while booting into GUI? Could it also be related to the following errors from Slim. Cannot find .Xauthority & slim.auth. Both of the files are there though.

.xinitrc

#!/bin/bash
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
  for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
    [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
  done
  unset f
fi
export BROWSER=firefox
# only use setxkbmap in here for user specific
setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session openbox-session

I only have 30-dbus and 40-libcanberra-gtk-module in xinitrc.d

# Original below
#login_cmd           exec /bin/bash -login ~/.xinitrc %session
login_cmd exec /bin/bash -login ~/.xinitrc %session >~/.xsession-errors 2>&1

# They can be used for registering a X11 session with
# sessreg. You can use the %user variable
#
# sessionstart_cmd	some command
# sessionstop_cmd	some command

# Start in daemon mode. Valid values: yes | no
# Note that this can be overriden by the command line
# options "-d" and "-nodaemon"
# daemon	yes

# Available sessions (first one is the default).
# The current chosen session name is replaced in the login_cmd
# above, so your login command can handle different sessions.

# Lock file
lockfile            /var/lock/slim.lock

# Log file
logfile             /var/log/slim.log

Thanks for any help in understanding this properly and hope I provided enough info and the correct stuff to help.

I see the same thing with ck-list-sessions.  I don't believe you have a problem there.

See if the following is any help.

Re: [solved]Question about how Console Kit & Slim/OpenBox is running

Thanks for the links and suggestions, I actually had followed your info before, due to having shutdown issues. But did not help in my problem, it was actually in the shutdown process for me.

The reason I ask if consolekit is broken is I have seen a couple messages on the bbs that if you dont have those consolekit could have/is broken during boot. I made sure there is only 1 ck-launch in all the different files. And my thinking was since I had to do a workaround to still cleanly shutdown, it could be related to consolekit not starting properly or I messed up its start some how. Maybe I am not thinking properly about the issue, but most posts seem to have that info stated and those that do, do not have shutdown/reboot issues.

Thanks

Well, I really only know what is on my system.

Maybe the following helps for openbox?
