[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#597937: consolekit: Power Management: Error org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.NotPrivileged: Not Authorized

[James Robertson]

Package: consolekit
Version: 0.4.2-1
Severity: important


I am using the following options in Openbox via a menu to control various options such as Reboot and Poweroff.

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Stop
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Restart

In .xinitrc I have the following:

exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch openbox-session

After a dist-upgrade I was no longer able to reboot or poweroff my PC and received the following error if I tried running the commands from the command line.

Error org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.NotPrivileged: Not Authorized

I downgraded consolekit from consolekit_0.4.2-1_i386.deb to consolekit_0.4.1-4_i386.deb and this resolved the problem.

Thanks
