Comment 2 Forgotten User FQc0eCHqNR 2012-02-27 16:43:55 UTC 
I have found additional non-starters in the services menu:
alsasound
apcupsd
dbus
postfix
random
smartd 
avahi-daemon
kbd 
random

I tried to report with the bug reporting tool, but kded was not running, although ps showed that it WAS!  

 USB drives and cameras show up in device reporter, but cannot be read.

Happens on every boot and after correction through system services it will re-appear after a few minutes-to-hours

Same here with a system updated from 11.4; dmesg is attached

This could well be a race condition: / is an ssd.

To clarify: dbus is not started automatically but must be started manually (/etc/init.d/dbus start) from a text console before KDE can be started.

Jim, I suspect you also did an upgrade to 12.1 and no clean installation? Just want to verify the suspicion that this is no ConsoleKit, but an upgrade bug. Otherwise I bet we've got more similar reports. Thanks.

Closing.
