Closed issue by Hoshpak on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/1742 Description: continuation of https://github.com/voidlinux/void-packages/issues/8048 @the-maldridge since you fell victim to a netsplit on freenode before I could reply, here are my current findings: sddm-0.18.0 still doesn't work with ConsoleKit2 out of the box. It correctly detects the ConsoleKit interface but then the process stalls until it is terminated without any error messages, the DM is not launched. I had more luck after trying to compile sddm with the changes proposed in https://github.com/sddm/sddm/pull/923 . The patched sddm binary sucessfully launches with ConsoleKit2 running and elogind absent. The shutdown and reboot buttons in sddm work and I can launch a lxqt session from sddm. I don't know if there's any other functionality to test for ConsoleKit. With these patches, sddm-0.18.0 works more or less the same way 0.15.0 did before.
