Public bug reported:
The following message, or variations upon it, appears dozens of times,
one immediately after the other, in my system log.
<warn> [1531853719.4893] error requesting auth for
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.hostname: Authorization
check failed: Failed to open file “/proc/10006/status”: No such file or
directory
The problem began when I did the following package update.
apt-cache policy policykit-1
policykit-1:
Installed: 0.105-20
Candidate: 0.105-20ubuntu0.18.04.1
Version table:
0.105-20ubuntu0.18.04.1 500
500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates/main amd64 Packages
500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security/main amd64
Packages
*** 0.105-20 500
500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
When (via the TimeShift backup program) I restored my system to a state before
the package was installed, the problem stopped. When I did have the problem,
some networks would have trouble connecting.
I asked about the issue on Mint's IRC channel, and no solution - save
reinstalling - emerged; but by that point I had not traced the problem
to policykit.
Mint 19 x64 Cinnamon. I report this problem here because it seems to me
- I might be wrong - an Ubuntu rather than Mint problem.
