First, just want to clear the air. I'm using a Linux Mint system, not a
straight Ubuntu system. But Mint is Ubuntu-based. I also followed the
upgrade path, instead of installing fresh. Mine was a more indirect
upgrade. I believe my path was something like Mint Xubuntu Gloria ->
Ubuntu Karmic -> Mint Ubuntu Helena. (Wireless networking was not "Just
Working" under straight Ubuntu -- no problems in Mint)
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Linux Mint 8 Helena - Main Edition
Release: 8
$ apt-cache policy gnome-system-tools
gnome-system-tools:
Installed: 2.28.1-0ubuntu2
Candidate: 2.28.1-0ubuntu2
Version table:
*** 2.28.1-0ubuntu2 0
500 http://ubuntu.osuosl.org karmic/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
I was also getting this message from my computer:
$ gksu users-admin
(users-admin:11756): Liboobs-WARNING **: There was an unknown error
communicating with the backends: Failed to execute program /lib/dbus-1.0
/dbus-daemon-launch-helper: Success
I've tried the above:
$ sudo killall /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon
$ sudo /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon
$ sudo killall /usr/lib/policykit-1/polkitd
/usr/lib/policykit-1/polkitd: no process found
$ sudo /usr/lib/policykit-1/polkitd
Registering null backend at priority -10
Using authority class PolkitBackendLocalAuthority
At this point, the first terminal session did not give me a c/l back, so
I went to a second terminal session:
$ gksu users-admin
(users-admin:12665): Liboobs-WARNING **: There was an unknown error
communicating with the backends: Failed to execute program
/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper: Success
Back on the first terminal, I now see:
$ sudo /usr/lib/policykit-1/polkitd
Registering null backend at priority -10
