Mmmh. You are missing "4. reboot with systemd". I'm assuming you |
| 51 |
haven't booted with systemd yet (you seemed hesitant to do it); logind |
| 52 |
will not work under anything different than systemd. The problem is |
| 53 |
not uninstalling or not CK (that doesn't matter after "USE=-consolekit |
| 54 |
emerge --newuse world", as you correctly pointed); the problem is that |
| 55 |
you need to be running systemd for logind to work. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
If logind doesn't work, gdm (and the whole GNOME stack) will acty |
| 58 |
strangely, if at all. |
