[Bug 205111] Re: likewise-open service does not start automatically

[Neil Mclean]

I purged and reinstalled likewise-open as per above note.  Sorry I did not capture any output from that.  Post install did run and as I posted above - the appropriate links are placed:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2008-05-09 22:30 /etc/rc2.d/S20likewise-open -> ../init.d/likewise-open
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2008-05-09 22:30 /etc/rc3.d/S20likewise-open -> ../init.d/likewise-open
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2008-05-09 22:30 /etc/rc4.d/S20likewise-open -> ../init.d/likewise-open
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2008-05-09 22:30 /etc/rc5.d/S20likewise-open -> ../init.d/likewise-open

This will result in likewise-winbindd starting at system startup.  So
installation is not a problem.  It is after first trying the system, to
log in and log out, of a domain that the startup links are subsequently
removed.

So... as per my last note.... the above startup links are REMOVED after:
-  successful install of likewise-open 
-  logging in a a local user
-  running the likewise-open-gui to perform a successful connection to the domain 
-  using likewise-open-gui to disconnect from the domain

I also notice that at the time of a successful connect to a domain a lot of odd things happens at my gnome desktop:
-  the desktop loses all icons and panels.  just selected wallpaper is present
-  after a moment the desktop icons all return but things like conky, nm-applet need to be manually restarted
-  if pidgin is running but minimised to the notification area - after the desktop revives pidgin is no longer minimised and also a folder of my home directory opens on the desktop of its own accord.

(the above is also repeated when I use the gui to disconnect from the
domain)

Adding some more - I notice that when I initiate a connection to a domain my syslog gets flooded with the following messages:
console-kit-daemon[5583]: WARNING: Could not acquire name; will retry.
console-kit-daemon[5583]: WARNING: Failed to acquire org.freeedsktop.ConsoleKit

The above messages begin with a connection to a domain initiated as
above with the gui.  They do NOT stop when I disconnect from the domain.
After disconnecting from the domain I can use my desktop and
applications but initiating a log-out of the desktop account, or
attempting to shutdown the PC, will result in a hang.

I can CTRL-ALT-F1 to a command prompt and restart the gdm but my system
is still not stable and I need to reboot.
