I ran into this problem on Lubuntu 14.04. On that machine, the user
created during the installation had no problem but every other regular
users were affected.

The workaround was to join the regular users to the sudo group to please
polkit. Since I really wanted those users to be "power less" I also
added those sudoer rules:

jane ALL=(ALL) !ALL
jdoe ALL=(ALL) !ALL
