Package: consolekit Version: 0.4.1-4 Severity: important I recently upgraded my Dell workstation at work from Lenny to Squeeze.
Upon logging in with kdm 4:4.4.5-1 I get the following error dialog: "Warning: Cannot open Consolekit session: Unable to open session: Failed to execute programm /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper: Success" This happens on every login not only on the first one (see http://bugs.debian.org/562026). Also that launch helper is setuid root (see http://bugs.debian.org/578203 and http://bugs.debian.org/569058): m...@mango:~> ls -l /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper -rwsr-xr-- 1 root messagebus 39880 27. Jul 21:39 /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper I have the following in syslog: Aug 4 09:22:59 mango kdm: :0[21127]: Cannot open ConsoleKit session: Unable to open session: Failed to execute program /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper: Success Aug 4 09:23:01 mango ck-launch-session: error connecting to ConsoleKit When I click "Ok" in the dialog, I still can login, but after some time I can not lock the KDE session anymore, also Alt-F2 for running KRunner does not work. When I logout and login again both functions work again. When trying again with pressing Ctrl Alt Backspace when I see the error dialog: Aug 4 10:08:43 mango kdm: :0[10486]: Cannot open ConsoleKit session: Unable to open session: Failed to execute program /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper: Success Aug 4 10:08:47 mango kdm: :0[10486]: Cannot read from greeter for display :0 Aug 4 10:08:47 mango kdm: :0[10486]: Abnormal termination of greeter for display :0, code 1, signal 0 Aug 4 10:08:47 mango kdm: :0[10486]: Cannot close ConsoleKit session: Unable to close session: no session open There is no console-kit-daemon process running. To work around this issue I just started consolekit-daemon as root manually. Then I didn't get an error message at boot. I do have an Debian Squeeze/Sid/Experimental setup on my ThinkPad T42 setup with same versions of ConsoleKit, DBUS and KDE, where this problem does not happen. The only notable difference I can think of is that the workstation as /home mounted via NFS while the ThinkPad has it as Ext4 filesystem. / is on an Ext4 filesystem is both cases. The NFS export is mounted with root_squash, so that root cannot access it: mango:~# LANG=C touch /home/ms/testfile touch: cannot touch `/home/ms/testfile': Permission denied -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.33.6-workstation-toi-3.1.1.1-04982-g768d8a0-dirty (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages consolekit depends on: ii dbus 1.2.24-3 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libc6 2.11.2-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libck-connector0 0.4.1-4 ConsoleKit libraries ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.24-3 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.86-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libglib2.0-0 2.24.1-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.96-2 PolicyKit Authorization API ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-3 X11 client-side library ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages consolekit recommends: pn libpam-ck-connector <none> (no description available) consolekit suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
