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

 

It seems that I have policykit-desktop-privileges installed:


laurens@laurens-desktop:~$ dpkg --list > test.txt 
laurens@laurens-desktop:~$ cat test.txt  | grep 'policykit-desktop-privileges'
ii  policykit-desktop-privileges                         0.19                                        all          run common desktop actions without password

I've also checked it in Synaptic and it also showed it as installed.

I've attached my /etc/pam.d/common-session file. It seems that I have
the required line. If there's anything else I can do or a debug guide I
can follow I'll be happy to spend some time on this.

Title:
  Desktop permissions (e.g shutdown, network, users) broken for all
  accounts after upgrade to 14.10

Status in “systemd” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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.
