99 I'm having the same problem (as do others).
100 ps auxw | grep -i console
101 shows, that console-kit-daemon is actually running.
102 And killall console-kit-daemon, /etc/init.d/consolekit start
103 fixes the problems.
104
105 It looks as if something has started consolekit earlier but not by
106 using /etc/init.d/consolekit .
107
108 Unfortunately, I don't know how to debug which is starting consolekit.
109 Furthermore, I'd like to know where the source of the start-stop-daemon
110 is.

112 Helmut.
