[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#652374: consolekit: fails to activate dbus service consolekit on first login attempt

[Martin Steigerwald]

Package: consolekit
Version: 0.4.5-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

Upgrading my Wheezy to the Debian repository contents of today +
installing kernel 3.2-rc4 (to get faster hibernation by new
multi-threaded image writing).

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

I logged into KDE 4.6.5 session via KDM.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

After that for example KDE 4.6.5 power management was not able to hibernate
the laptop. The power management locked the screen, but did not initiate
the hibernation, although calling pm-hibernate from command line did the trick.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Absence of the error message and working powermanagement.

Since seems like debian bug #562026:

kdm cannot open ConsoleKit session on first login attempt
http://bugs.debian.org/562026

but I have a consolekit version past 0.4.1-3 in which Ingo Kasten found the
bug fixed.

This happens on a ThinkPad T42. On a ThinkPad T520 with Debian Sid and same
consolekit version and 3.2-rc4 amd64 kernel I did't see this issue. Maybe
a race condition? My ThinkPad T23 is still updating (slow BTRFS), when it
happens there, too, I will report back.

Thanks,
Martin
