[Bug 1240336] Re: Not authorized to perform operation / Unable to determine the session we are in: No session for pid

 

I got the same problem on upgrading from 14.04 to 14.10.
On dmesg I see:

Bug description:
  After a new install of 64 bit Ubuntu 13.10 on my second partition, I
  used dpkg to reinstall all the same packages I had on my 32 bit 13.04
  partition.  I copied all my home directory files over and updated all
  the packages.  I now find that I don't have permissions to change the
  network settings; I can't mount my other hard drive or any USB stick
  using nautilus, or (udisks without using sudo)' I can't run synaptic
  by clicking on the GUI (I have to go to a terminal and sudo synaptic);
  etc.  I can't find any documentation on the configuration of
  policykit-desktop-privileges, so I'm filing this bug.  For me it
  appears to be totally broken.  Maybe someone can help me out.

  Thanks,

  Rob
