The newer one will because its replacing Hal with POLKIT-1 , which requires Consolekit. I do have a patch to drop Pam . But Consolekit is still there and still a bug invested guaranteed breakage (working and compiling ). Plus this all styarted for me with KDE4 either we are forced to use polkit/consolekit/patch and still have a broken system or go all the way with Pam for a full cancer stick. Also please there is more than enought proof that these do cause a great anount of problems . even tonight I was still finding people having the same problems and they have pam . It been like that for years . It is an authentication many of use done't want to use and would apreciate it bein all put back in. It should never have been dropped in the first place. I hate udev as it is and never liked hal either and this makes it even more proof of what i said in the irc channels that it would get worse. > I loved linux but this has put it in the black book now. Totally disappointed how it could go from something so good respecting all linux platforms. But now only wanting to work with the selected favorites. > Fact is too the time was taken to cut out what worked and should still work. Instead of working the other in to have both options and not one forcing the other to use it . Giving it only partial control . whoops never hit reply to all, never used it before or email much :) ---------------------------------------- > From: kay.sievers@xxxxxxxx > Date: Sun, 28 Mar 2010 21:05:37 +0200 > Subject: Re: Polkit/Consolekit cancer stick? > To: greg@xxxxxxxxx > CC: oneforall59@xxxxxxxxxxx; linux-hotplug@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > On Sun, Mar 28, 2010 at 20:54, Greg KH wrote: >> On Sun, Mar 28, 2010 at 06:40:00PM +0000, oneforall immortal wrote: >>> >>> ?
