[Bug 1240336] Re: Not authorized to perform operation / Unable to determine the session we are in: No session for pid
In my case the deinstallation of ulatencyd has solved the problem.
I had the problem in the old install, made a clean install and at some
point started seeing the problem again. Somehow I guessed I should try
deinstalling ulatencyd and it helped indeed. Installing it again and
rebooting makes the problem appear again.
I have reported the issue to ulatencyd as

Bug description:
After a new install of 64 bit Ubuntu 13.10 on my second partition, I
used dpkg to reinstall all the same packages I had on my 32 bit 13.04
partition. I copied all my home directory files over and updated all
the packages. I now find that I don't have permissions to change the
network settings; I can't mount my other hard drive or any USB stick
using nautilus, or (udisks without using sudo)' I can't run synaptic
by clicking on the GUI (I have to go to a terminal and sudo synaptic);
etc. I can't find any documentation on the configuration of
policykit-desktop-privileges, so I'm filing this bug. For me it
appears to be totally broken. Maybe someone can help me out.
Thanks,
Rob
