OK, I've found the problem. It's not related to ConsoleKit directly, I
was actually misled by a warning shown for some reporters, but not all.
It seems that the messagebus user and groups don't match after an
upgrade, which cause D-Bus activation to fail. See
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/+bug/295405/comments/15.
To fix this on your computer, edit your /etc/group file. Find the group
'messagebus', on a line like:
messagebus:x:OLD_GID:
where OLD_GID is the GID of the group. Check that another group is using the
same GID (which is the root cause of this bug). If that's the case, you should
find a free GID, use it for the group messagebus, and then run:
sudo find / -gid OLD_GID -exec chgrp NEW_GID '{}' \;
Then, edit /etc/passwd and change the line
messagebus:x:108:OLD_GID::/var/run/dbus:/bin/false
replacing OLD_GID with the NEW_GID. You may need to reboot for the changes to
take effect.
Please report if that works for you.
