Hm, indeed, sorry. Next step would be to run the authentication agent
manualy after killing the one that is running, and see if it changes
something. If it doesn't, have a look at the messages it prints to the
console, and also to the messages printed by polkitd, which (IIRC)
should also say it
What you describe feels weird to me, especially the part about the
upgrade breaking things... Please run 'sudo killall
/usr/lib/policykit-1/polkitd sudo /usr/lib/policykit-1/polkitd',
retry to authenticate via users-admin from a local GDM session and a VNC
session, and paste the output here.
$ sudo killall polkitd sudo /usr/lib/policykit-1/polkitd

Authorization
Authorization requires authentication but no agent is available.
This means you need to start
/usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 so that the
authentication dialog can be shown.
But this should be started automatically on login thanks to a desktop
file.Check that it
Please look again at the process listing in #10. It is running, and I
checked that it is in fact a child of gnome-session. The only gnome-
session running on this machine is the one started by VNC. So, why is
policy kit unable to find this authentication agent? This is the same
issue that I keep
users-admin works as expected in a local GDM session.

I installed Maverick desktop edition in a VM using the ISO image.
After installation, I installed only vnc4server and ssh. I logged in
remotely and started the VNC session. I confirmed that users-admin does
not get an authorization from policy kit. No window appears that says
that it cannot get

This problem appears to be new in Maverick.
Steps:
1. Run users-admin from within a VNC session using my primary user account
that is in the admin group.
2. Click on any button that requires authorization by

that's a plain duplicate of bug 221363, which

I have seen this behavior in both 64b and 32b installs. I ran apport-bug
from my 64b machine, so that is why it is tagged amd64.
