Trying to tweak kde-4.7.0 for Porteus v-1.0, 32 bits, I got this warning: "Cannot open ConsoleKit session: Unable to open session: Failed to execute program /usr/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper: Success".
Immediately I thought it was something wrong with ConsoleKit. So I ran a general "find" and got this:
root@porteus:~# find / -name ConsoleKit
/var/run/ConsoleKit
/var/log/ConsoleKit
/usr/lib/ConsoleKit
/usr/include/ConsoleKit
/etc/ConsoleKit
/mnt/live/memory/images/007-devel.xzm/usr/include/ConsoleKit
/mnt/live/memory/images/003-lxde.xzm/etc/ConsoleKit
/mnt/live/memory/images/003-lxde.xzm/usr/lib/ConsoleKit
/mnt/live/memory/images/003-lxde.xzm/var/log/ConsoleKit
/mnt/live/memory/images/003-lxde.xzm/var/run/ConsoleKit
/mnt/live/memory/images/001-core.xzm/usr/lib/ConsoleKit
find: `/mnt/live/proc/3881/net': Invalid argument
find: `/proc/3881/net': Invalid argument
root@porteus:~#
Is there a special reason to have it splitted in 3 different modules?
I wanted to take out 003-lxde -at least provisorily (to make space)- and found that kde4 didn't even start without 003-lxde!
If there is no reason to divide ConsoleKit in three parts, I would suggest to put it in 001-core all together, for Porteus 1.1 or whatever.
Regards

I believe that it *might* have been splitted to accomodate either desktop , somehow things might not work if it is placed in one space. I read this somewhere, but I don't remember where Hope that @fanthom/@brokenman correct me in the case that I was mistaken or that my post does not relate to consolekit but might be for some other thing?

Re: ConsoleKit is splitted!
@wread, Tonio
this folder belongs to udev package (go to /var/log/packages and run 'grep ConsoleKit *')
this is the real 'ConoleKit' package.
all headers and statically compiled libs (.a files) are moved to devel module by our 'cleanup, post configuration scripts' just before making new ISO. These files are needed only for compilation from sources thus useless outside of 'devel'. if one never compiles then he gets smaller 001,002,003,xxx
Cheers

it's up to brokenman if he want's to move it to 001-core or 002-xorg. if it helps KDE4 then it's rather good ideaIf there is no reason to divide ConsoleKit in three parts, I would suggest to put it in 001-core all together, for Porteus 1.1 or whatever.

Re: ConsoleKit is splitted!
@fanthom
Thank you for your prompt answer, fanthom. I will make further experiences with ConsoleKit and report to you an to brokenman.
Apropos KDE4, I read kde4 is not using the hal daemon, starting with 4.6; that means device polling does not work as in older versions. However LXDE uses it for that purpose. I read that hal won't be even supported any more. How did you manage this situation in Porteus 64 bits? (that is 4.6, isn't it?) Do you stop hald in kde4.6 and start it in lxde?
But I also read, that Slackware eventually would switch to Gnome and abandon KDE. The reason is that the kde-team splitted the modules of the DE in more than 70 new modules (good for Porteus!), and that they lack of the developers to maintain so many modules (I don't think this is a powerful reason to react so). They would also switch eventually LXDE to XFACE, too (I think xface is not using hald either).
Maybe this is a subject for a new thread. You decide....

I'm going to drop it completely in Porteus-1.1 for 64bits (32bit KDE-3 is still using it so must stay in place).
http://alien.slackbook.org/ktown/
and as you probably know his packages are merged upstream as official Slackware's one.
both KDE-4 and LXDE uses udisk instead of hal in Porteus 1.0. hal was left there only for compatibility with other apps like qmmp, k3b, etcDo you stop hald in kde4.6 and start it in lxde?

i think it was just a rumor. Alien Bob is still updating KDE in his Ktown repo:But I also read, that Slackware eventually would switch to Gnome and abandon KDE.

yes - it's too much off topic so let's stop hereMaybe this is a subject for a new thread. You decide....

Re: ConsoleKit is splitted!
@fanthom,
@brokenman,
I compiled ConsoleKit-0.4.5 with linux-pam included and embeded it fully in 001-core (deleted first the existing old ConsoleKit files). Also deleted the other ConsoleKit parts contained in 003-lxde and 007-devel; then made 3 new base modules 001-core-wread, 003-lxde-wread and 007-devel-wread. Now I get this:
root@porteus:~# find / -name ConsoleKit
/usr/lib/ConsoleKit
/usr/include/ConsoleKit
/etc/ConsoleKit
/mnt/live/memory/images/001-core-wread.xzm/etc/ConsoleKit
/mnt/live/memory/images/001-core-wread.xzm/usr/include/ConsoleKit
/mnt/live/memory/images/001-core-wread.xzm/usr/lib/ConsoleKit
find: `/mnt/live/proc/4977/net': Invalid argument
find: `/proc/4977/net': Invalid argument
root@porteus:~#
Now you can move 004-kde to optional and lxde works ok, or move 003-lxde to optional and kde works ok or even move both 003-lxde and 004-kde and the text mode works ok. You can try it; I posted the 3 changed modules in mediafire

thanks but i'm aware of that and Consolekit is placed in 002-xorg for 64bits. there was no reason to keep it below 003-lxde for 32bits as so far KDE-4 was never considered as kde-3 replacement.You can try it; I posted the 3 changed modules in mediafire

Ok, I will sync it with the 64 bits version and move ConsoleKit to 002-xorg and report back!
