All authorizations fail with 0.9.2

[rworkman]

Basically, with CK2-0.9.2 (or from current git master), all authorizations that I checked are failing. I first noticed with suspend/hibernate/reboot/shutdown support from Xfce, but it turns out that others (e.g. nm-applet) are also lacking.

upower --dump was showing "no" for "can-suspend" and other related items, yet ck-list-sessions was showing the session both is-local=true and active=true. I spent a lot of time trying to figure it out and eventually decided to do a git bisect. The result was commit 417e387 and in fact, reverting it makes things work just as I expect (as they did with 0.4.5).

Hey,
Thanks for narrowing down the issue. I was waiting for a day off to look into it but you beat me to it. I've reverted the commit you pointed out.

Nice detective work.

So, as a result of commit 417e387, the database doesn't get updated when changing to a new active session if the old session is not type CK_TYPE_SESSION - ergo the problem reported.

Unfortunately, issue 28598 is not very detailed and the OpenSolaris bug tracker is long gone.

But, emitting ACTIVE_SESSION_CHANGED_FULL with old_session not type CK_TYPE_SESSION isn't enough to crash CK so I wonder if the Sun Ray problem was due to their particular GDM configuration and/or run-session.d helper setup.

Unless you're leaving this open with the intent of trying to figure out the reason for the original bug that the revert patch was intended to address, this one can be closed...

Yeah, as mancha pointed out there's not much to go on. Closing bug report.
