I had this issue as well while trying to use "System -> Administration -> Services" with a user/member of the 'admin' group, using VNC and LTSP clients.
Please see comment #14 at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8001955#post8001955 for my workaround. This seems to be a default Ubuntu polkit policy issue (for many things, it seems Ubuntu wants you to be on the actual system console and not logged in remotely via any means)... I don't understand this as it would be trivial to trick PolKit into thinking you're logged in locally even if you're not. -- no policykit access on ltsp thin client https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219473 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
