[Bug 56608] xorg-server-1.13.0: core dump on regen

--- Comment #47 from Martin Mokrejs <mmokrejs at fold.natur.cuni.cz> ---
The whole year I used to live with logging in as a user and starting up startx
manually.

I tried to whether I could finally loging in through xdm window like years
before. No, still not. I upgraded from x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.21.6 to
x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.21.12 . I do NOT get core dumps anymore but
still, my xdm window disappears after entering the Password[enter] and
reappears back again with Login. I am not arguing the issue (core dumps) is
fixed or not.

So, what I want to report here is that at least, startx gives now some more
interesting messages (to its STDOUT and STDERR, so they are in the VT console):


<quote>
(xfce4-session:3876): GLib-WARNING **: GError set over the top of a previous
GError or uninitialized memory.
This indicates a bug in someone's code. You must ensure an error is NULL before
it's set.
The overwriting error message was: Could not get owner of name
'org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit': no such name

** (xfce4-session:3876): CRITICAL **: dbus_set_g_error: assertion `gerror ==
NULL || *gerror == NULL' failed
xfce4-session: Querying suspend failed: Could not get owner of name
'org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit': no such name

xinit: connection to X server lost

waiting for X server to shut down .Server terminated successfully (0). Closing
log file.

I will attach this as a full file.

Second, I see that at least at the very moment, I do NOT have installed
consolekit. I fear that X/xdm/pam/whoever is looking for consolekit and because
of that /var/log/xdm.log says:

<quote>

Here is what the package handling tool on Gentoo asks me to do now:

<quote>
[ebuild     U  ] xfce-base/libxfce4util-4.10.1 [4.10.0]
[ebuild  N     ] x11-misc/xscreensaver-5.21  USE="jpeg opengl pam perl -gdm
-new-login (-selinux) -suid -xinerama"
[ebuild  N     ] sys-auth/polkit-0.111  USE="gtk introspection nls pam
-examples -kde (-selinux) -systemd"
[ebuild  N     ] gnome-extra/polkit-gnome-0.105
[ebuild  N     ] sys-auth/consolekit-0.4.5_p20120320-r2  USE="acl pam policykit
-debug -doc (-selinux) {-test}"
[ebuild     U  ] sys-auth/pambase-20120417-r2 [20120417-r1] USE="consolekit*"
[ebuild  N     ] sys-power/upower-0.9.20-r2  USE="deprecated introspection -doc
-ios -systemd"
[ebuild     U  ] xfce-base/xfce4-session-4.10.1 [4.10.0-r1] USE="-systemd%"

The following USE changes are necessary to proceed:
 (see "package.use" in the portage(5) man page for more details)
# required by sys-auth/polkit-0.111[-systemd,pam]
# required by sys-auth/consolekit-0.4.5_p20120320-r2[policykit]
>=sys-auth/pambase-20120417-r2 consolekit
# required by sys-auth/polkit-0.111[-systemd]
# required by sys-power/upower-0.9.20-r2
# required by xfce-base/xfce4-session-4.10.1[udev]
# required by @selected
# required by @world (argument)
>=sys-auth/consolekit-0.4.5_p20120320-r2 policykit
</quote>

So, could anything be done so that xdm would NOT even start if it cannot use
PAM/consolekit? Or at least give a useful error message back to the XDM login
window? Or xorg-server could complain during its startup?
