[gentoo-dev] XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=(null) when root logs in

[gentoo-dev] XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=(null) when root logs in

[Joakim Tjernlund]

I know this might be a bit off topic but I just want some clues

Whenever root logs in(ssh or on text console) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is set to "(null)". This
creates a /(null) dir. with various stuff in it.

I am trying to find out what sets XDG_RUNTIME_DIR?

We auth. against Windows AD using sssd, but root is a local UNIX user only(not in AD)

Any clues?

its https://bugs.gentoo.org/585688
fixed in sys-auth/consolekit-1.1.0-r1

I'd forgotten to update the stablereq to that, will do it now.

Ah, I see that now.
Thou after installing sys-auth/consolekit-1.1.0-r1 I get XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
but no the directory is not created for root, seems to be fixed by:

Yep, that patch is what the -r1 bump was for. Did you remember to
restart consolekit after updating?

It's pam_ck_connector.so.  Also see
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=588840 for details.
