Comment 2 Kevin Kofler 2012-02-07 16:05:04 UTC 
Actually, let's keep #786157 as a tracker, since there are at least 2 separate issues.
Comment 3 nucleo 2012-02-14 00:25:11 UTC 
ConsoleKit is installed on las nightly CD but there is other error now:
http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/2475/consolekit.png
Cannot open ConsoleKit session: Unable yo open session: Unable to get information about calling process.
But after OK logged in as it should.
Comment 4 Kevin Kofler 2012-02-15 02:18:53 UTC 
So, do we have any idea what's up with this one yet?
Comment 5 Rex Dieter 2012-02-15 11:31:15 UTC 
Seems xorg-x11-xinit no longer includes ck bits, maybe that's relevant.

/etc/X11/xinit/Xsession includes:
. /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc-common

and xinitrc-common contained:

CK_XINIT_SESSION=
if [ -z "$XDG_SESSION_COOKIE" ] && [ -x /usr/bin/ck-xinit-session ]; then
    CK_XINIT_SESSION="/usr/bin/ck-xinit-session"
fi

which isn't there anymore.
Comment 6 Kevin Kofler 2012-02-15 16:18:19 UTC 
That shouldn't be needed with KDM because KDM integrates ConsoleKit natively. It wasn't there in F7 either. It got added later to make DMs without native ConsoleKit integration work (at least for local sessions).
Comment 7 Orion Poplawski 2012-02-21 23:44:42 UTC 
kdm in debug mode outputs:

arguments to ck_connector_get_cookie() were incorrect, assertion "connector != NULL" failed in file ck-connector.c line 583.
Comment 8 Rex Dieter 2012-02-22 15:16:04 UTC 
%changelog
* Wed Feb 22 2012 Rex Dieter <rdieter> 4.8.0-10
- kdm: Requires: ConsoleKit-x11 (#787855)

this fixes it for me.

Comment 11 Rex Dieter 2012-02-22 17:47:58 UTC 
OK, alternative approach, removing CK support altogether, functionality is essentially handled by systemd-logind these days.

Comment 12 Kevin Kofler 2012-02-22 22:07:27 UTC 
Well, shutdown/restart without KDM isn't going to work without ConsoleKit as long as the systemd shutdown support is not implemented, see bug #788171.
