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. As this affects the system configuration and setup utilities, I consider it to be more important than the bug heat may indicate, but the bug status gives me the impression no one is actually working on it. I would like to kindly ask if there are any plans for this bug ... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/976638 Title: pkexec does not find any authentication agent To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-1/+bug/976638/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
