chris at mumac.de has reassigned Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla at FreeBSD.org>'s
request for maintainer-feedback to gnome at FreeBSD.org:
Bug 221452: sysutils/consolekit2: session's active state lost when switching
between virtual terminals
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=221452



--- Description ---
The session's active state is [still] not 100% accurate with consolekit2
despite the fixes in #202269. I'm using lightdm and xfce4.

When I log in directly from lightdm, ck-list-sessions reports the session as
active. However, if I ever switch to a text console and back to the X11
console, the session is reported as "active = FALSE" with the corresponding
side effects (not able to mount removable media, ...)

Sometimes, I also have the case that the X11 session remains active even when
running ck-list-sessions from a text console. I do not have pam configured to
register sessions, thus the only session is the X11 session registered by
lightdm, console login or not.

I'm using the text console (kern.vty=sc) and the Nvidia driver in case this
makes any difference.

Please let me know if you need additional information or would like me to run
tests.

Thanks,
--Christian
