Who start this daemon: console-kit ?
Hello
Running Slackware-13.37 as media server(categories x,xap,kde,kdei not installed). /etc/rc.d/rc.consolekit is 644(non executable) psaux and htop show /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon --no-daemon process, its parent process is init. Start time coincides with system boot time. So question: who does spawn it? |
grep -nH 'console-kit-daemon' /etc/rc.d/*

please, people is trying to help, there's no need to be rude.
can you show us: - the ps output; - ls -la /etc/rc.d/ | grep rwx | grep -v [d,l]rwx | grep -v rc\.[0,4,6,K,M,S] - the rc.local content. obviously you have other software besides standard slackware packages to use it as a mediacenter: can it be something related to those is involved? are you by chance using hal/udisks on the host? |

changes only in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf|rc.mysqld|rc.keymap|rc.font and /etc/profile.d/lang.sh|.csh(changed language settings) But: in order to find cause I have substituted /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon with shell script which calls pstree -lpc and so now I know precess tree during its spawn Code:
init(1)-+-acpid(1446) Now I will try to play with /usr/share/dbus-1/* folks, but I really hate services/daemons which really cannot be turned off by only one trigger(like chmod -x). It is appears for me /etc/rc.d/rc.consolekit is redundant. |
Many of the X startup methods, such as the various xinitrc and xsession files have a little code snippet like this:
Code:
if [ -z "$DESKTOP_SESSION" -a -x /usr/bin/ck-launch-session ]; then edit: Sorry Fey: I missed this bit: Quote:

no, I don't think /etc/rc.d/rc.consolekit is redundant, the thing seems a little different to me: apparently, it's launched with the --no-daemon option by dbus, probably because it's needed.
I think you can try removepkg / chmod -x /etc/rc.d/rc.hald / rebuilding hal with --disable-console-kit, if you want to get rid of it (and if you don't need hal at all / automounting for external drives). |
GazL, not installed X at all, and will not be installed ever.
ponce, will HAL/dbus will work as it was if I removepkg console-kit? I don't know how strongly HAL/dbus requires console-kit, and don't know how strongly system requires HAL/dbus, and so do not want remove anything system requires and I don't know about it. (My basic requirements is proper detecting and configuration of NICs, successful loading DAHDI, working iptables and running mysql,vsftpd,shhd and asterisk). |
If I was you, I would simply try if disabling consolekit support (rebuilding hal) will play smooth with your setup, and if it will, I wouldn't worry much. ;)
that's if you want absolutely to remove consolekit, but frankly, as it's used by hal on your setup, in the end, I can't understand why you are struggling to do it. Quote:

Unfortunately, I don't know real purpose of Console-Kit package. Is it really required by any component? I'm sure not, because 8-9 years ago there was not any console-kit thing and Linux worked good. So I do not understand reasons why it was introduced and hardcoded(as you said) into other components. And so I don't understand what will I have stable system after I remove it.(By the way, I didn't found any references to console-kit in either dbus and hal sources. Or I had bad search?)

Code:
hal-0.5.14 $ ./configure --help | grep console-kit Code:
... it has been discussed a lot (here and elsewhere) but, to make it short, it has become a freedesktop.org standard, so everybody was pretty much forced to adopt it. Quote:
