Bug 549687

Just forgotten: There is no relevant output in kdm.log or /var/log/messages for this.

blocking kde-4.4 tracker (may move to F13Blocker-kde later, if this ends up being f13/rawhide specific).

I've attached /var/log/messages. These lines appear when the user isn't logged in automatically:

Dec 22 17:18:45 localhost kdm: :0[1533]: Cannot open ConsoleKit session: Unable to open session: Method "OpenSessionWithParameters" with signature "a(sv)" on interface "org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager" doesn't exist
Dec 22 17:18:45 localhost kdm: :0[1533]: Client start failed
Dec 22 17:18:45 localhost kdm: :0[1533]: Cannot close ConsoleKit session: Unable to close session: no session open

After killing kdm there is no kdm related output (I've put a line as a marker in the attached messages).

OK, similar symptoms as bug #545639 (and dup'd bug #545267 ) then, ie, ConsoleKit failing on the first attempt.

rpm -q ConsoleKit dbus hal

please.  given that we can double check whether this is addressed in rawhide yet.

ConsoleKit-0.4.1-3.fc13.i686
hal-0.5.14-1.fc13.i686
dbus-1.2.16-8.fc12.i686

Re-assigning to ConsoleKit, seems the ck_connector_open_session_with_parameters call here is failing,

    dbus_error_init( &error );
    ckStatus = ck_connector_open_session_with_parameters( ckConnector, &error,
                "unix-user", &p->pw_uid,
                "x11-display-device", &ckDevice,
                "x11-display", &td->name,
                "is-local", &isLocal, /* meaning not entirely clear per doc */
# ifdef XDMCP
                "remote-host-name", remoteHostName ?
                               (const char **)&remoteHostName : &spaceStr,
# endif
                (char *)0 );

Hi all...
I have same problem, with the no-password option in Kdm.
When I am on lo-gin screen, I press "Enter", I have a black screen and return on lo-gin screen.
I re-press "Enter" and My session launch.
With password option in Kdm, no problem.

Looks like the versions of libck-connector and ConsoleKit in Rawhide are not compatible with each other.

Ping? Are the versions of libck-connector and ConsoleKit in Rawhide not compatible with each other?

davidz thinks this is related to dbus activation (ala bug #545267), but I'd have assumed that should be fixed in rawhide already.  If that's the expectation, then this bug serves to dispell that notion.

The strange things are:
* F12 has the same version of ConsoleKit as F13, so is this also happening on F12?
* libck-connector and the ConsoleKit daemon come from the same tarball, how can they get out of sync?

Hmmm, why does it say 'Method "OpenSessionWithParameters" with signature "a(sv)" on interface "org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager" doesn't exist'? That method is definitely there, maybe access is getting blocked by some security policy?

There's a good chance this is the kdm equivalent of gdm bug #555593

*** Bug 560465 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

I can no longer reproduce "only 2nd login works" on F13. Maybe ConsoleKit-0.4.1-5.fc13.x86_64 fixed it?

I bet so.

I confirm comment 17 from Sven Lankes, I update to ConsoleKit-0.4.1-5.fc13.x86_64 and now that work fine...
