Created attachment 384454 [details] /var/log/gdm/:0-greeter.log when I get no sounds/users Description of problem: Most of the time when I login after booting, I get a greeter screen without a "list of users" (just "other") and no sounds (e.g., clicks, funny noise on entering an incorrect password). I intermittently do get sound/users on the greeter screen. I attach :0-greeter.log for a session where there are no sounds nor users, and for a session when I get both. Here is the first few lines of "diff" from these two files (edited to remove process numbers): 5,6c5,8 < (polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:1844): polkit-gnome-1-WARNING **: Unable to determine the session we are in: Remote Exception invoking org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.GetSessionForUnixProcess() on /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager at name org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit: org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.GeneralError: Unable to lookup session information for process '1844' org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.GeneralError Unable%20to%20lookup%20session%20information%20for%20process%20%271844%27 < ** (process:): DEBUG: Greeter session pid= display=:0.0 xauthority=/var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-kX95Cx/database --- > (polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:1854): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot register existing type `_PolkitError' > > (polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:1854): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed > ** (process:): DEBUG: Greeter session pid= display=:0.0 xauthority=/var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-UcdgC2/database Lines from '<' are from the session without sounds/users; lines from '>' are from the session with them.

A bit more on this: I updated to gdm-plugin-fingerprint-2.29.4-2.fc13.x86_64 polkit-desktop-policy-0.96-1.fc13.noarch gdm-user-switch-applet-2.29.4-2.fc13.x86_64 gdm-2.29.4-2.fc13.x86_64 polkit-gnome-0.96-1.fc13.x86_64 polkit-0.96-1.fc13.x86_64 but still have the same issue. I have noticed that when logging out (that is, not rebooting) gdm-greeter invariably lists users and produces sounds when selecting, etc. For completeness, I attach 2 more greeter log files produced "in sequence"; that is, the first from boot, the second produced by logging out and logging back in. The first had no sound nor users listed, the second did. Something more I can provide?
Created attachment 384836 [details] :0-greeter.log produced from fresh boot, no sound, no listed users
Created attachment 384837 [details] :0-greeter.log produced by logging out of above session and logging in. Sound and users listed.
Forgot to mention, attachments in 3 and 4 above have process ids removed (so I could diff them....)
I confirm the bug ( I didn't notice the missing sound though)
Entering an incorrect password generates a "popping" noise when the user list is displayed. Does not do so when just "Other" is displayed.

this seems to have been broken for ever, I sorta expected it'd get fixed by now. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
"No user list" symptoms are also reported in bug 551247 (F12, reason unknown) and bug 561590 (F13, manually setting disable_user_list to false cured it).
The problem first manifested in F-12 when hal lost it's ConsoleKit support. See bug 545267 The problem was caused by several bugs in the dbus and ConsoleKit packages. Apparently, I didn't apply the fix properly in rawhide at the time. See this gem of a diff: http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/F-13/ConsoleKit/ConsoleKit.spec?r1=1.52&r2=1.53&pathrev=ConsoleKit-0_4_1-4_fc13& Note I only rev the release number and add a changelog entry. I don't actually apply the patch I added to cvs. This should be fixed in -5. Moving to modified.

I've tried to rebuilt the package on Fedora 12 and I've stumble across an xml related error: /usr/bin/xmlto xhtml-nochunks -m ../../doc/dbus/config.xsl ConsoleKit.xml xmlto: /home/rpmbuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/ConsoleKit-0.4.1/doc/dbus/ConsoleKit.xml does not validate (status 3) xmlto: Fix document syntax or use --skip-validation option I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd /home/rpmbuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/ConsoleKit-0.4.1/doc/dbus/ConsoleKit.xml:9: warning: failed to load external entity "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd" Is there anything I can do to fix it?
You shouldn't need to rebuild the package for Fedora 12. Fedora 12 got updates a while ago: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F12/FEDORA-2009-13408
After updating my Rawhide system with ConsoleKit-0.4.1-5.fc13.x86_64 ConsoleKit-x11-0.4.1-5.fc13.x86_64 ConsoleKit-libs-0.4.1-5.fc13.x86_64 ConsoleKit-debuginfo-0.4.1-5.fc13.x86_64 I've rebooted twice in a row, and gotten the "user list" both times. [Hadn't seen this on a fresh reboot in quite a while!] Believe this is "working for me". Thanks!
