[Bug 976638] Re: pkexec does not find any authentication agent
Found the answer - I needed to install lxsession-edit, and that gives me the "Policykit Authentication Agent" tickbox. Now all is well. One oddity though: on a fresh install of Lubuntu 18.04, everything works as expected - yet the Policykit Authentication Agent box is unchecked...

Marcus Naeher has the solution in #17 above For LXDE it is true as well that the PolicyKit Autostart has been unchecked by default in the latest version of Ubuntu/Lubuntu If you check this box and restart, Synaptic package manager will start from the launchpad menu and will ask for Authentication and all is well. Here is his answer quoted below: "I have found the solution by happenstance: (I am using XFCE in German, so maybe the wording I describe here is not 100% accurate) In the XFCE settings menu -> Session management -> Automatically started applications, there is an Item "Policykit Authentication Agent". This was unchecked. Re-check, reboot (probably logout and login is sufficient), and it is back working. But: I am absolutely sure I did not remove the check.

My problem started with being unable to start synaptic from the menu. So far, I have found out that synaptic is started with pkexec.

With another test pkexec --disable-internal-agent /usr/sbin/synaptic in the terminal, it says it has not found any authentication agent. I have two AMD64 PC's and a i386 laptop.

It has turned out that the problem affects more components than I originally noticed: When I try to configure system time / date in XFCE (also needed for selecting the appropriate NTP server), the dialog starts up locked and there is an unlock button. This button is also non-functional, probably due to the policykit problem. Although I have seen some people finding workarounds, I think they aren't practicable. In the german ubuntu-users forum I have already got some feedback that the problem affects more and more users in between. And for every one, it comes out of the blue.
