[SOLVED]Cannot open consolekit

ArchIsCool · 2012-08-04 14:35:13

Hi,

I have just installed a new ArchLinux and KDE on my PC. When I boot it, the normal KDE Login-Screen appears, after typing my password in and pressing return it shows this warning:

Warning: Cannot open ConsoleKit session: Unable to open session: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 127

When I click ok, the usual loading screen appears and the harddrive-icon is shown, but then KDE crashes with showing the details:

Executeable: kdeinit 4 PID: 782 Signal: Segmentation fault(11)

/var/log/kdm.log sais:

[...]
klauncher(722) kdemain: No DBUS session-bus found. Check if you have started the DBUS server.
kdeinit4: Communication error with launcher. Exiting!
kdmgreet(715)/kdecore (K*TimeZone*): KSystemTimeZones: ktimezoned initialize() D-Bus call failed: "Not connected to D-Bus server"

kdmgreet(715)/kdecore (K*TimeZone*): No time zone information obtained from ktimezoned
arguments to ck_connector_get_cookie() were incorrect, assertion "connector != NULL" failed in file ck-connector.c line 583.

(process:715): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_main_context_pop_thread_default: assertion `g_queue_peek_head (stack) == context' failed

But dbus is actually started through daemon array.
And /var/log/everything.log sais:

[...]

Could you please tell me, what is going wrong here?

Does Dbus start without any errors? Try to start/restart it manually.

DBus is starting and stopping without messages, everything actually seems correct, but the error is remaining

Keep in mind that there are two DBus processes (or at least there should be):

- The system bus, started from rc.conf (or by systemd, if you use that). This is the one running as root.
- The session bus, started (in your case) by KDM when you log in. This one runs as your own user.

The error refers to the "session" bus. It makes sense that these other KDE components would crash without that running. It's mysterious to me why it wouldn't start up as usual when you log in.

Now I uninstalled phonon-vlc (and vlc) and changed from starting as daemon to starting with inittab, but the error remains

Well... I simply made a full system update (I installed the system the day before yesterday!!!) with a bit complications and now it works.

Thanks anyway
