[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#562026: kdm cannot open ConsoleKit session on first login attempt

[Ingo Kasten]

Hi,

I am dealing with the same problem on Debian unstable/testing 
(2.6.32-trunk-amd64).

For me the workaround by ili111 modifying /etc/init.d/kdm is much easier 
than patching the console-kit sources (I am not very skilled in 
packaging .diffs and .debs).
My first attempt in modifying the kdm script however failed. The reason 
was that for me the output of ps -e (concerning console-kit-daemon) is not

 "/usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon"
but
 "console-kit-dae"


Changing  the code  into

 if [ "$(ps -e|grep console-kit-dae)" = "" ];then


worked for me.
Maybe someone made the same experiences.
(In fact I don't understand the reason for this, because IMHO the output of

ps -e|grep /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon

should be the same as

ps -e|grep console-kit-dae

at startup - namely nothing, and so the daemon should be started.)

Regards
Ingo
