From the output, I'm wondering if you have consolekit installed...but I don't think you need it unless you are booting with screen=text; and even then I'm not completly sure it's necessary (see TazPup64 post).

Interesting output though It might shed some light on things.

Anyway, I have consolkit installed on TazPup64 and looking at the file list, I suspect the following file is what triggers consolkit:

Code: Select all

/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.consolekit.policy

**Just a wild guess though.

Other files in this list that look like they might trigger some kind of action are:

Code: Select all

/lib/udev/rules.d/71-udev-seat.rules
/lib/udev/rules.d/70-udev-acl.rules
/etc/logrotate.d/consolekit
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/ConsoleKit.conf
/etc/X11/app-defaults/xinitrc.d/90-consolekit.sh
/etc/ConsoleKit/seats.d/00-primary.seat

**These are just guesses though I made from looking at their name and path.

Hi s243a,

Here is the pop up message that appears when desktop starts

GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit was not provided by any .service files

The question is which process is looking for the ConsoleKit service. You could install consolkit but I suspect that you don't need it. However, if you do install consolkit the ".service" file is located at:

Code: Select all

/usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.service

I found this out by looking at:

Code: Select all

/var/lib/tazpkg/installed/consolekit2/files.list

on tazpup64. Here are the contents of the file:

Code: Select all

[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit
Exec=/usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon --no-daemon
User=root

but don't add this file to your system, it will appear automatically if you install consolekit and as I note above you probably don't need consolekit.

[darry19662018]

Through running the commands you suggested I have found I don't have consolekit and checked package manager there is no entry for it.

I have had the message since I updated.

[darry19662018]

I have installed consolekit and no difference.

[darry19662018]

Have found out! lxde now uses lxpolkit instead of polkit which needs to be disabled.

[s243a]

Have found out! lxde now uses lxpolkit instead of polkit which needs to be disabled.

Good find! As a side note, I think that lxpolkit is started via the following file:

Code: Select all

/etc/xdg/autostart/lxpolkit.desktop

so it might be possible to alternatively disable lxpolkit if you prefer. I'm not sure what the differences are.

[s243a]

BTW how did you disable polkit? Also was there something you found online about this or did you figure it all out yourself?

[darry19662018]

Sigh in this distro there is no way to stop polkit so seem to be stuck with this problem may have to find another window manager.

[s243a]

Sigh in this distro there is no way to stop polkit so seem to be stuck with this problem may have to find another window manager.

I found a way to get rid of this error message. In /ect/xdg/autostart:
rename:

Code: Select all

lxpolkit.desktop

to

Code: Select all

lxpolkit.desktop-back

in $HOME/.config/lxsession/LXDE/desktop.conf
change:

Code: Select all

polkit/command=lxpolkit

to

Code: Select all

polkit/command=none

The last change was a complete guess so I don't know if it will cause any problems. It did get rid of the GDBus message at startup though

P.S. I did read that you can replace lxpolkit with policykit-1-gnome. However, to do this we would need to compile policykit-1-gnome. The disadvantage of this is that policykit-1-gnome has more dependencies. The advantage though is that policykit-1-gnome is probably less buggy.

Thanks mate working so far will report back any problems.

Hello.
I have installed beta 26.

One thing I have noticed is that, when I click a desktop icon, for example, "home" icon, I am asked whether to execute the application or not.
(I have logged in as root.)

Such a thing did not happen before.

[mistfire]

@thinkpadfreak this will fix the problem

1. Go to PCManFM
2. Click Edit preferences
3. Tick "Don't ask option to launch executable file"
4. Click OK

Sadly, this is a "feature" of pcmanfm since version 1.3.... and if you tick that option it affects not only .desktop files but also scripts....... which is unfortunate.

There is a workaround whereby you put the .desktop file in a subdirectory of /usr/share/applications with NoDisplay=true set and then make a 2nd Type=Link .desktop file where you want it to be. Rather messy.

e.g.
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Link
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Web Check
URL=/usr/share/applications/cloud/webcheck.desktop
Icon=secondlife_icon
