#1 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] How to remove elogind postinstall in Xfce4 in order to use consolekit2 » 2022-02-12 15:08:54

Ok so now I've got one last problem with connection manager. I installed it successfully (in fact I started to mix it up with conman with one n !)
Starting the system, I've got no internet connection with wifi even when launching connman settings and activating wifi : it shows no wifi connections around !
The only way is to start the system without

auto wlan0

and then manually edit /etc/network/interfaces and add it after devuan launch.
Then after

ifup wlan0

network is back...otherwise if I leave it at start of devuan it shows me an error about already configured network
I must say I'm quite a newbie so any help is welcome

Ok so I tried to follow your instructions.
Trying at first to stop slim but it said "failing". It lasted for a while complaining about

iwlwifi no beacon heard and the time event is over already

then stopped at last...Nevertheless I went further first by installing consolekit and associated libpam

apt-get install consolekit libpam-ck-connector

It went on flawlessly uninstalling some other packages by the way but as soon as I uninstalled elogind

apt-get remove elogind

I lost my wifi network. I had to manually edit the network configuration following devuan instructions

nano /etc/network/interfaces
auto wlan0
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
      wpa-ssid myssid
      wpa-psk mypassphrase

then save with Ctrl+X and then

ifup wlan0

Network was back
Concerning pmount and spaceman it works great so thank you again !

Hello everyone,

I just couldn't find the answer to my question on the forum!

For sure not everybody is willing to remove elogind but Linux is choice so I'd like to use consolekit 2 instead as advertised in devuan chimaera release notes.

Problem is even when I launch xfce4 with parameters

startxfce4 --with-ck-launch 

elogind is still running in the background...
So removing elogind crashes everything sad

But it is said that both ck2 and elogind are mutually exclusive.
So is there a step by step guide to do it post installation?
Thank you in advance

Hello !
I'd like to benefit from your expertise.

I've not yet tried the way you described tux but I will

I tried before to install xfce4 by apt-get install
Then I stumbled on this error :
error ensuring dpkg/reassemble.deb doesn't exist. read only file system
Then it shows Ext4-fs error on and on.
Is it because of my SD Card? Very recently I could install last Ubuntu Mate on the same Raspberry without any problem.
Thank you in advance !

EDIT: I had the same error using tasksel while unpacking libsane-common.
It says apt-get failed (100).
It would look like a SD-Card failure but Ubuntu Mate I reinstalled functions perfectly

Sorry to ask the question !
but I tried at least twenty times to login on Rpi2 image with
login/password = pi/board
And I can swear it doesn't work after checking caps lock, input language,...!
any hint about where I could be wrong, please ?
