[Bug 1377727] [NEW] Desktop permissions (e.g shutdown, network, users) broken for all accounts after upgrade to 14.10

 

Public bug reported:

I reported this bug before as Bug #1372187 but it has been brought to my
attention that Ubuntu switched from console-kit to logind after the
13.10 release.

1. System worked without any problems under 14.04
2. Upgrade to 14.10
3. Upgrade went without any problems
4. Notice that standby has disappeared from the "gears" menu
5. notice that I cannot disconnect or change the network connection (exact error is: "(32) Not authorized to control networking.")
6. I can't see, change or unlock setting under Settings > User accounts
7. Running "dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Stop" from the terminal results in the error: "Error org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.NotPrivileged: Not Authorized"
8. Running "sudo pam-auth-update --force" doesn't solve any errors
9. Creating a new user account (sudo adduser) and switching to the account results in the same permission problems.

Output of:

laurens@laurens-desktop:~$ loginctl list-sessions
   SESSION UID USER SEAT
        c1 110 lightdm seat0
        c2 1000 laurens seat0

2 sessions listed.

Sudo works as expected so I can help to further debug this problem and
provide relevant information. Unfortunately I have very limited
experience with Logind and PAM so I hope I have reported this to the
right package.

If someone could point me in the right direction (wiki, man page,
tutorial) I would be more than happy to see if I can see what went wrong
and if I can debug this myself.
