Installing libpam-ck-connector break mounting device

I think the rights of libpam-ck-connector must be change

No need to affect Lubuntu team.

Lionel proposed 2 possible fixes for this on IRC, but after some tests, it doesn't fix the problem :
- adding "session optional pam_ck_connector.so" to lxdm.pam
- starting lxde session with "ck-launch-session"

well...
i didn't know if libpam-ck-connector is necessary, but i removed it, and it seems that no package depends from this one.

this fix the problem for me.

As already mentioned in #bug 635698, removing the package also resolved this usb pen drive issue with the fixed lxdm version.

Removing libpam-ck-connector also causes apt to remove ubuntu-desktop; I've filed this as bug 709531 [1].

I agree with Stenten. Adding libpam-ck-connector conflict with lxdm (implemented in lxdm-0.2.0-0ubuntu3.2) is not a solution. This forces users to have either lubuntu-desktop, or any other desktop metapackage installed. Currently Lubuntu have too many bugs to force user to stick with it only. Now bug 709531 affects me too and I have to blacklist lxdm-0.2.0-0ubuntu3.2 to avoid it.

I've tried another workarround and it works for me with (lxdm-0.2.0-0ubuntu3 with libpam-ck-connector) installed. I've edited file /etc/pam.d/lxdm and replaced line

@include common-session

with line

@include common-session-noninteractive

Files /etc/pam.d/common-session and /etc/pam.d/common-session-noninteractive are differs only in pam_ck_connector.so module. As I understand, upstream bug at sourceforge also recommends not to use pam_ck_connector with lxdm (probably, lxdm have built-in support for ck?).

Can anybody check test my solution. If it works I could create a patch. For me chaging config file is much better than introducing incompatibility between lubuntu-desktop and all the rest desktops.

You need also to check if ConsolKit works correctly after the modification. For example, you should be able to change settings in "Date and Time".

I've checked lubuntu and xubuntu session started from lxdm-0.2.0-0ubuntu3 with common-session-noninteractive instead of common-session. In both environments I'm able to mount/unmount removable drive and set date and time. ck-list-sessions show exactly one record about my X session. Should I test anything else?

Thanks for the tests. I'll provide a fixed package so others people can also test the fix.

This bug was fixed in the package lxdm - 0.3.0-0ubuntu3

---------------
lxdm (0.3.0-0ubuntu3) natty; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/
   - 80_translations.patch: Update translations from upstream git (2011-02-14)
  * debian/lxdm.pam:
   - Add @include common-session-noninteractive instead of
     @include common-session to disable consolekit pam support, already in lxdm
     (LP: #576073).
  * debian/control:
   - Drop libpam-ck-connector conflicts, since the support is disabled in the
     pam file (LP: #709531).
