[Bug 1372187] Re: Desktop console-kit permissions (e.g shutdown, network, users) broken for all accounts after upgrade to 14.10

 

Please check if you are affected by bug 1295521, i. e. whether the root
cause is that you have both the i386 and amd64 version of libpam-systemd
installed. If so, this is a likely duplicate.

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

Status in “consolekit” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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.

  Sudo works as expected so I can help to further debug this problem and
  provide relevant information. Unfortunately I have very limited
  experience with ConsoleKit 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.
