I'm using E17 without LightDm ( it saves about 200 mb ram ).

I manage to do that easily and now I'm starting E17 with the old nice startx and a .xinit file in my home root.

my .xinit :
exec dbus-launch enlightenment_start

the issue:
when I try to change wifi connection (nm-applet) I got a message ' (32) not authorized to control networking' and my cam too is not working ( obviously everything is working ok if I pass through lightdm \ Unity )

Update 2:

Because some alien intelligence close this question ( sorry but this is not the first time it happens to me ) without any good reason I only can add info here.

  • This problem is related to Console kit

Solution

  • I have changed my .xinit :
    exec ck-launch-session enlightenment_start

Extra Steps:
- I have also set autologin in the console editing /etc/init/tty1.conf :
change last line with this one ( and set your USERNAME )
exec /sbin/getty -a USERNAME -8 -s 38400 tty1 linux

  • I have add this line to ~/.profile:
    [[ $(fgconsole) = 1 ]] && startx -- vt1
    so startx start automatically at the boot

Update 3: Above solution fix problem with webcam but not for network-managager

Update 4:
Here the final 'fix' for webcam and Network manager:

  • I have changed my .xinit boot line with that:
    exec dbus-launch enlightenment_start

apparently this is the starting point but know everything is working fine don't ask me why :)

    It is not the same question, but the answer is related to what you're experiencing even though you don't use slim (I couldn't mount my phone because i wasn't "authorized" to do so, you can't use your camera because you don't have "permissions"). http://askubuntu.com/questions/185293/how-to-configure-a-minimal-ubuntu-installation – Uri Herrera Oct 09 '12 at 18:28
  • ConsoleKit and PolicyKit are Security frameworks. (Synaptic is executed with policykit rather than gksu). There must be a way around it, but good luck finding one. – Uri Herrera Oct 09 '12 at 18:39
  • Unfortunately I have no idea how LightDM or GDM or KDM invoke those, we'll have to wait for someone with more experience. – Uri Herrera Oct 09 '12 at 18:44
  • hey guys this not a problem related to ubuntu alpha... it is a general problem why here on ask ubuntu people close question without any criteria ? – Postadelmaga Oct 14 '12 at 07:22
