Hi,
Just to say that it's steel the same after an upgrade 12.04.4 > 14.04.1
:
(polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:1810): GLib-CRITICAL **:
g_variant_new_string: assertion 'string != NULL' failed

Sorry if it's the wrong place to comment.

Title:
pkexec does not find any authentication agent
Status in System policy:
Confirmed
Status in “policykit-1” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
I am using xubuntu, but I am pretty sure that other variants are
affected too.
My problem started with being unable to start synaptic from the menu.
So far, I have found out that synaptic is started with pkexec.
When I test starting
pkexec /usr/sbin/synaptic
in a terminal, it asks for the password in text mode.
With another test
pkexec --disable-internal-agent /usr/sbin/synaptic
in the terminal, it says it has not found any authentication agent.
I have two AMD64 PC's and a i386 laptop. The problem occurs on one of the
PC's and the laptop.
Comparing the /etc directory trees of the PC's showed many differences, but I
could not find anything suspicious about the polycikit configuration.
For the moment, using gksu instead of pkexec is a workaround.
Thanks and Regards,
Markus
