Comment 25 for bug 232557

Message #22 says: status: Confirmed -> Fix Released
But how to apply the fix to older versions of Ubuntu?
Is it possible to install consolekit (0.4.2-1ubuntu1) natty on those versions?
If so, how?

Also the questions of #20 and #24 remain unanswered.

I have an addition to what I wrote in #20.
I am using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS with Gnome replaced by KDE, on a Thinkpad laptop.
Under my 8.04 the problem seems to disappear when kernel 2.6.31 is used
(basically from Ubuntu 9.10):

 PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
4007 root 20 0 9060 1704 1372 S 0 0.1 0:00.22 console-kit-dae

This is the situation under the original kernel 2.6.24, after 28 days
of uptime:

 PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
6083 root 20 0 202m 194m 1608 S 0 9.7 5:35.92 console-kit-dae

(Sorry, the lines of 'top' display ugly.)
