Hi together,
I'm having an issue here that polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1
doesn't seem to start up correctly. For some reason this happens on just
one of two machines I've updated to F17 Beta and I'm not sure why.
This seems to cause some weird issues with NetworkManager/nm-applet
which doesn't allow me to see/create/edit connections and PulseAudio,
which doesn't allow me to actually access my sound card.
xfce4-session-logout is just offering me the "Logout" option but
anything else and so on.
It's actually just a guess in the wild that this has something to do
with polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 not running, because that is
currently the only difference I found between those two systems until
now.
Maybe someone of you has some idea what happened here? :)
Please check
* that /etc/xdg/autostart/xfce-polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1.desktop is
present, enabled and not overwritten by a personal copy of the file in
~/.config/autostart/
* that ConsoleKit-x11 is installed.
Kind regards,
Christoph
