Title:
  Upgrading 12.04 to 14.04 pam issues

Status in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Upgraded 12.04 to 14.04 and lost sound, printing, software center
  install privilege, etc.

  (Most similar bug I could find was: Bug #1317518 ) 
  After upgrading from 12.04 to 14.04, I noticed: 

  --I couldn't print on 14.04, but yesterday I could print on 12.04. But
  there were now many more network printers available for use than with
  12.04. I was able to print from a network printer, just not from USB
  printer that I could print from in 12.04  (didn't toubleshoot further)

  --I had no sound on boot/login nor on a Youtube video presentation. read some forums and tried some suggestions such as:
  cp /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/* /usr/share/sounds/    My main observation was that the only sound device available from Sound Preferences was something I had never seen called "Dummy Output". With 12.04 there were usually a few like Alsa, etc. I read forums on this and suggestion was to install "PulseAudo Preferences". 

  --But when I tried installing the sound preferences app, the error msg
  said "Authentication Error" : "Software can't be installed or removed
  because the authentication service is not available.
  (org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.Error.Failed: ('system-bus-name', {'name':
  ':1.108'}): org.debian.apt.install-or-remove-packages" Followed by
  "You are not allowed to perform this action" : "ou don't have the
  required privileges to perform this action." But I am the admin/root
  user. I rechecked under System Tools -> System Settings -> User
  Accounts  My account type is " Administrator"

  --I also tried mounting some other partitions that were still
  available in the "Places" menu tab (I use the classic gnome UI, which
  14.04 remembered from 12.04). I used sudo mount ... and was asked for
  password, not nothing ever mounted.

  "uname -a" prints:
  Linux my-username-GA-MA785GM-US2H 3.13.0-34-generic #60-Ubuntu SMP Wed Aug 13 15:45:27 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  What I think should happen is sound and printing should work and when
  I click on the unmounted partitions in the Places l ist they should
  mount as they did in 12.04. I should also be able to use the Software
  center to install apps/packages (although I usually prefer the CLI and
  apt-get)

  
  First asked for assistance on answers.launchpad.net. See Question #253289

  Workaround involved finding a similar bug in the 13.04 to 13.10 upgrade that was fixed by these steps:

  1. sudo pam-auth-update --force
  2. adding the following to lines to a previously empty file named /etc/pam.d/lxdm
    session required pam_loginuid.so
    session required pam_systemd.so
  3. rebooting

  Don't know if there is a better fix. I tried only step one at first
  but it did not help. Don't know whether step two by its self could fix
  it or not.
