Description papoteur 2023-05-03 10:39:59 CEST 
Description of problem:
In a VM (VirtualBox)running:
dbus-monitor --system
displays every 4 or 5 seconds:
method call time=1683102288.761133 sender=:1.4 -> destination=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit serial=2597 path=/org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager; interface=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager; member=GetSessions
error time=1683102288.761449 sender=org.freedesktop.DBus -> destination=:1.4 error_name=org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown reply_serial=2597
   string "The name org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit was not provided by any .service files"

The sender :1.4 is /usr/bin/VBoxService -f according to d-feet
There is no reason that this query is sent when the service is not installed.
Mageia doesn't provide consolekit

Can you give more details, like:
- What is the host
-- system
-- kernel
-- virtualbox
- What is the guest
-- system
-- kernel
-- vbox guest additions if any

Comment 2 papoteur 2023-05-04 08:59:10 CEST 
The host is Mageia 8, kernel 5.15.98-desktop-1.mga8, virtualbox-7.0.6-1.mga8
The guest is cauldron, 6.3.1-desktop-1.mga9 virtualbox-guest-additions-7.0.8-1.mga9
Comment 3 Lewis Smith 2023-05-04 21:11:43 CEST 
Thanks. Seems best to assign this to kernel with which Vbox is intimately related.
