[SOLVED] Consolekit doesn't register an active/local session

I recently had a huge ordeal where all of my /etc was deleted. I reinstalled everything and reconfigured my stuff and almost everything is fine.

But when I log into my computer and run ck-list-sessions, this is the output:

[rob ~ ]$  ck-list-sessions 
Session2:
	unix-user = '1000'
	realname = 'Rob Agnese'
	seat = 'Seat3'
	session-type = ''
	active = FALSE
	x11-display = ':0'
	x11-display-device = '/dev/tty2'
	display-device = '/dev/tty1'
	remote-host-name = ''
	is-local = FALSE
	on-since = '2011-08-24T13:53:41.441696Z'
	login-session-id = '4294967295'

This prevents me from rebooting properly and xfce4-power-manager suspending, etc.

SOLUTION: I was using fgetty to log in. Use agetty (the Arch default).

how do you login into xfce?

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: [SOLVED] Consolekit doesn't register an active/local session

Actually, I'm using openbox-session, but my .xinitrc file is as such:

xmodmap .Xmodmap &
numlockx &

exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session openbox-session

EDIT: And I use startx, no DM.

Re: [SOLVED] Consolekit doesn't register an active/local session

is active/is-local TRUE before you run startx?

those are the only lines from ~/.xinitrc?

do you auto login into your graphical session using some hack in /etc/inittab ?

do you use slim?

Before I run startx, ck-list-sessions doesn't return anything...

And yes, that is my whole .xinitrc

Re: [SOLVED] Consolekit doesn't register an active/local session

Well, I figured it out. I have been using fgetty instead of agetty. Apparently, that was the problem. Back to agetty for me. Too bad, because fgetty came up much quicker.

Mingetty should work as well with console-kit btw.
