Counsel Kit

R

Every time I log out, there is a Message that Counsel Kit is a problem. What is that and should it have anything to do with simply logging out? The reason I ask is every time I log out my display either goes into an on/off mode or simply gives me a black screen of death. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
 
I believe you mean 'Console Kit' and yes it deals with logging out of Xorg.
How are you starting your Xorg session?
 
/home/user/.xinitrc should look like this:
Code: 
exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session mate-session

Add dbus to your /etc/rc.conf too.
Code: 
dbus_enable="YES"

Oh, Yes; I always install the dbus_enable="YES" in my rc.conf file. That is one reason that I do not understand the warning message about D-BUS.
 
With the screen going black at Xorg shutdown I wonder if your drm driver is the culprit.
Have you tried just temporarily using scfb video to see if you can isolate it to a driver?

Thanks for your idea, but I do not know scfb or even how to carry out your plan. However, I will go forth and try to learn. Thanks again.

Ok take whatever video driver you are loading now and comment it out.
For example for Intel Video driver i915kms is the driver.
Look at your rc.conf and see what drm file you are loading and then disable it.
scfb video driver is included in the standard Xorg installation.
So if you disable your drm driver Xorg will start with scfb driver or VESA driver.
Exit Xorg and see if you still get screen lockup or blanking.

Here is a copy of my rc.conf file:
ifconfig_re0="DHCP"
ifconfig_re0_ipv6="inet6 accept_rtadv"
sshd_enable="YES"
ntpdate_enable="YES"
dumpdev="AUTO"
zfs_enable="YES"
kld_list="nvidia-modeset"
dbus_enable="YES"
linux_enable="YES"
bison_enable="YES"
cupsd_enable="YES"
usb_enable="YES"
webcamd_enable="YES"
autofs_enable="YES"
devfs_system_ruleset="localrules"
devfs_system_ruleset="system"
devfs_system_ruleset="devfsrules"

You only need one of those lines, having more than one creates a conflict between them. If you have to specify ruleset names in more than one place (unlikely), pick one name, and stick to it. I learned that the hard way.

Okay I'll carry that out as soon as I finalize my cd and dvd blanking project.
 
Here is what I found:
(mate-power-manager:2798): PowerManager-WARNING **: 18:53:56.589: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

(mate-power-manager:2798): PowerManager-ERROR **: 18:53:56.589: This program cannot start until you start the dbus session service.

As you viewed in the rc.conf file I do have dbus_enable="YES" Thus, I am at a loss to the former ERROR.
