ToriOS update

 

Hey everyone,
I have been fighting a problem for a while trying to get everything just
right... and I finally found out...
I cannot fix this current issue with the current setup.

Issue: XDM doesn't support consolekit  (please correct me if I am wrong)

Solution: SLiM? or back to the console login, or upload a version on XDM
which supports consolekit

What do you guys think?

The reason this is important (mainly) is shutting down.
For a normal user to shut down the computer (safely) without requiring a
password we need consolekit to start the session
in the console login I use ck-launch-session jwm
Consolekit is part of Upstart, this will all change with systemd  (no
idea what we need there... but that is quite a way off fortunately)

Thanks
