It has to do with https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25031, for which you have a comment. I crafted my .xinitrc file like this [ numlockx & autocutsel -fork & autocutsel -selection PRIMARY -fork & # Source scripts in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/ if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f" done unset f fi exec openbox-session ] Instead of like this: [ numlockx & autocutsel -fork & autocutsel -selection PRIMARY -fork & # Source scripts in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/ #if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then # for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do # [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f" # done # unset f #fi exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch openbox-session ] The first way udisks also fails for a normal user on the console. The second way everything works right. My bad. Meaculpa. Sorry for the noise. before change [myra@gandalf /media]:/usr/bin/ck-list-sessions | ps -e u | grep xinitrc myra 3680 0.0 0.0 15732 836 tty1 S+ 11:49 0:00 xinit /home/myra/.xinitrc -- /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc :0 -auth /tmp/serverauth.RnDioa9aqT after change [myra@gandalf ~]:/usr/bin/ck-list-sessions | ps -e u | grep xinitrc myra 1866 0.0 0.0 15732 832 tty1 S+ 16:24 0:00 xinit /home/myra/.xinitrc -- /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc :0 -auth /tmp/serverauth.ijpyBJwqre Myra -- Life's fun when your sick and psychotic!
