[SOLVED] polkit-0.107-4 KDE UPower UDisks Failed

hunterthomson · 2012-11-02 06:38:34

Wow, I need help to track down this problem.... The problem is that the logs are not telling me anything usefull.

I am forced to use polkit-0.105 & consolekit. Upgrading to polkit-0.107-4 and removing consolekit dose not work.

KDE takes like ~8-10mins to startup. Then when it dose the battery monitor systemtray thing dose not work. I bet the disk manager systemtray dose not work also...

The problem seems to be with upowerd and udisksd

No-one is forcing you to run deprecated software. Trying to blame the Arch devs for your self-inflicted problems is not helping.

Right on, I removed the ranting. Sorry, I have just spent the past ... 3 hr's rebooting my laptop. I think it is time to take a brake now.

I just blacklisted polkit in pacman.conf. I'll check back when I see a new version is avalable.

You could try checking "systemctl status polkit.servic." to see if there is more info there (it should give the reason it failed).

OKAY boy this took me like 20hr's of work to figure out, because I was taking the wrong approach to solving the problem. Instead of just trying to start KDE... I should have stayed in the console. Then turned off all pax flags for polkitd, upowerd, udisksd. Then started each one, one at a time, trunning on one setting at a time.

I guess RANDMMAP problems show no errors in my logs. I'll check the Kernel Auditing section in the kernel config to see if there is an option to log errors with RANDMMAP.

MPROTECT & RANDMMAP off for polkitd
MPROTECT off for upowerd

paxctl -cPSmXEr /usr/lib/polkit-1/polkitd
paxctl -cPSmXER /usr/lib/upower/upowerd

I have submitted the new flags to the "linux-pax-flags" AUR package, so no one else should have to deal with this. I also submited a bug report on freedesktop.org ... I hope they fix up the code. It really sucks to have to disable security on security daemons.
