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 det
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 se

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

What you describe feels weird to me, especially the part about the

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 au

If the patch doesn't apply, you can still edit by hand
/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.SystemToolsBackends.policy
and replace with . If that's enough, then
that's a plain duplicate of bug 221363, which simply needs to be

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 policykit
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.
