Re: [xmonad] udiskie+consolekit and still unauthorized access

That seems to work. Thanks! -- Rohan On 00:04 -0400 / 15 Mar, Brandon Allbery wrote:

A similar issue exists for me too. It works if I use gdm3 or lightdm as my desktop manager, but there are some other issues these window managers pose, which make them not worth switching to. So, I use xdm. I start xsession using,

ck-launch-session dbus-launch xmonad

But I still get "Not Authorized" errors with udisks. How do others handle this?

How/where are you launching udiskie or whatever? It needs to be within the same ConsoleKit session; the display managers you mentioned arrange for the entire user session to be in a CK session, but if you do it yourself you may need to arrange for your whole .xsession or equivalent to be in a CK session.

$ mv .xsession .xsession-real $ cat > .xsession #! /bin/sh exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch $HOME/.xsession-real ^D $ chmod +x .xsession .xsession-real

And xmonad and any additional programs are then run from .xsession-real.
