My PolicyKit.conf and "id" output are attached, run as my normal logged in user before I ran the ck-launch-session command. After running the "ck-launch-session" command in the term, I ran "ck-list-sessions" again and produced the output in the attached file.
Indeed the following process shows up when I look at the running processes: "/usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon". I don't see any related error messages in syslog or dmesg. I just recently tried kde by installing kubuntu from the terminal and selecting to use the KDE login manager (I forget what it's called). However, this permissions problem existed long before then. NX is configured to load a gnome session, and all of these are being run from inside my gnome desktop session. My two "proc" related lines from the output of mount are: proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) Anything else strange....this is an NX session that I have disconnected and reconnected to frequently over the past few days (rather than logging out and starting a new one each time). Like I said, I tried out KDE via a kubuntu install the other day, which I suppose could have affected the ck-list-sessions output, but did not have an effect on whether or not I can unlock admin functions of control panels. The command I ran to try kde was: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop Shortly after getting this box running, I accidentally fried the motherboard and had to replace it but didn't reinstall any software. I haven't installed any special or non-standard kernels. I have lots of disks and mount points, although not an excessive amount (a few of them use FUSE). I'll post if I can think of anything else note worthy. ** Attachment added: "requested outputs" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15199430/tyler_outputs.txt -- policykit not available over NX sessions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/238800 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
