Description felix 2009-12-16 21:44:58 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

KDM does not always log me in automatically. From time to time it works but most of the time i see the normal login mask. 

I'm using  Kubuntu Lucid Lynx. This happens since about 1-2 weeks.

Nothing more to say i think :)

Comment 1 Oswald Buddenhagen 2009-12-17 09:27:03 UTC

i deem it much more likely that the kde session just immediately creashes. check the timestamp of ~/.xsession-errors and have a look at daemon.log and kdm.log in /var/log.

Comment 2 felix 2009-12-17 16:16:47 UTC

You might be right:

daemon.log

Dec 17 06:34:12 laptop kdm: :0[2058]: Cannot open ConsoleKit session: Unable to open session: Method "OpenSessionWithParameters" with signature "a(sv)" on interface "org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager" doesn't exist
Dec 17 06:34:12 laptop kdm: :0[2058]: Client start failed
Dec 17 06:34:12 laptop kdm: :0[2058]: Cannot close ConsoleKit session: Unable to close session: no session open

IS this bug a duplicate of something else?

Comment 3 Oswald Buddenhagen 2009-12-17 16:25:16 UTC

blah, that's kdm's slightly broken consolekit integration. i'm aware of bugs in that area, but i don't remember whether they are filed on bugzilla.

Comment 4 Oswald Buddenhagen 2010-02-21 12:00:07 UTC

SVN commit 1093647 by ossi:

make ConsoleKit failure non-fatal

libck-connector sucks at error reporting, so we cannot tell whether no
ck daemon is running (which would be kinda fine) or whether talking with
it failed (which would be a bit worse). so choose the less disruptive
whole-sale solution.
