ConsoleKit will not load on boot every time kded not available & dbus not started

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:9.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/9.0 Every time I boot the ConsoleKit will not load and I have to manually start dbus in order to get functionality. PS2 Mouse hangs up occasionally and several USB devices refuse to work although they are recognized. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot system 2. 3.
Possibly related: bug #732642, bug #728731, bug #736695, bug#715467
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
Created attachment 503603 [details] dmesg
This could well be a race condition: / is an ssd.
(In reply to comment #3) > Same here with a system updated from 11.4; dmesg is attached 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.
