Re: [Bug 221363] Re: Policy Kit Unlock Buttons Greyed Out when using NX
I supposing you are using NoMachine NX Free edition.
So add the repository:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/freenx-team/ubuntu intrepid main
And use the freenx-session-launcher from this repository.

Policy Kit Unlock Buttons Greyed Out when using NX
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/221363
You received this bug notification because you are a member of FreeNX
Team, which is the registrant for FreeNX Server.
Status in FreeNX open source NX Server: Fix Released
Status in PolicyKit: Confirmed
Status in “policykit” source package in Ubuntu: New
Bug description:
I installed 8.04 LTS server on a system. Then installed ubuntu-desktop using apt. Installed Nomachine's NX server and connected to it.
The unlock buttons on Users and Groups or Network are greyed out and un-accessible. Tried running from a term 'sudo users-admin' with the same results.
Works fine with VNC and NX "Shadow" session however this is not really acceptable as it means a session has to be running on console first.
I have tried to enable every option in Authorizations to allow the remote session to have privileges to no avail.
output of dpkg relevant packages:
ii gnome-system-t 2.22.0-0ubuntu Cross-platform configuration utilities for G
ii liboobs-1-4 2.22.0-0ubuntu GObject based interface to system-tools-back
ii policykit 0.7-2ubuntu7 framework for managing administrative polici
ii system-tools-b 2.6.0-0ubuntu7 System Tools to manage computer configuratio
== Workaround ==
If you are using NX from NOMACHINE:
- Install package from comment #24
- Follow instruction from comment #23
- Reload dbus conf by executing $sudo /etc/init.d/dbus reload
if you are using FreeNX:
- Install package from comment #24
- Edit /etc/nxserver/node.conf and change
'#COMMAND_START_GNOME=gnome-session'
to 'COMMAND_START_GNOME=/usr/bin/nx-session-launcher-suid gnome-session'
- Reload dbus conf by executing $sudo /etc/init.d/dbus reload
if you are using ssh -X:
- Install package from comment #24
- Reload dbus conf by executing $sudo /etc/init.d/dbus reload
- Execute the command by '/usr/bin/nx-session-launcher-suid SOME_PROGRAM'
