Can loginkit be used without gdm #11

Open juanitotc opened 9 years ago

juanitotc commented 9 years ago

I have gnome-3.10.x compiled from source working by starting gnome-session directly with "startx" - i.e. without using gdm on a distro that does not use systemd (tinycorelinux).

I am unable to get gnome-3.14.x or gnome-3.16.x working by starting gnome-session directly with "startx". The gnome-session debug output it not very useful, but it does give:

(gnome-settings-daemon:20943): media-keys-plugin-WARNING **: Unable to inhibit keypresses: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.login1 was not provided by any .service files

[note that gnome-3.10.x also gives this warning, but works anyway]

and then:

gnome-session2[20901]: WARNING: Application 'gnome-shell.desktop' failed to register before timeout

Is it possible to use loginkit directly with gnome-session? If so, how and where should it be started?

Nope, it won't work. I know for sure that gnome-shell depends on logind pretty heavily, LoginKit hasn't reached that stage yet. The focus has been getting GDM to work, but I suspended LoginKit's development, at least until Devuan 2.
