> 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 isn't listed as disabled in gnome-session-properties (normally, it isn't listed there, and is started via /etc/xdg/autostart /polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1.desktop). Is this working now? If this was the problem, it's not a bug and is not related to remote sessions at all. -- users-admin cannot get authorized from policy kit in VNC session https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/668901 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
