I have experienced this bug both on 8.04 Hardy and still on 9.04 Jaunty.

Hi,
Apparently this is a problem with consolekit being
able to look-up the XDG_SESSION_COOKIE.
Could someone who has the problem and gets the message
'Unable to lookup session information for process' please run
users-admin from a terminal, and then cat /proc/number/environ
where number is the
This is on Hardy Heron, from an LTSP terminal. I ran sudo users-admin
and received the message:
** (users-admin:15898): CRITICAL **: Unable to lookup session
information for process '15898'
In a separate terminal, I looked up in the information:

This bug hit me with a fresh installation of Ubuntu Hardy and 2 things
were noticeable:
1. USB volumes did not automount (that includes iPods and stuff)
2. all the *-admin utilities would not allow me to authenticate. The button was
just gray-out.
To fix this I did:

Sorry for the delay - I've been on travel for several weeks and just now
am getting back to troubleshooting this.
Per Sebastien Bacher's suggestion:
$ polkit-auth --show-obtainable
doesn't output anything
-$ ck-list-sessions
doesn't output anything
-$ cat /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf
?xml
I ran network-admin with dbus-monitor running. I'm not sure if this
offers any useful information, but here's the output:

there is something broken about your installation and that's not due to
gnome-system-monitor, the comments show that you have no active
consolekit session, what login manager do you use?

Yeah if I run 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start' from the console, everything
works OK with PolicyKit/ConsoleKit.
Now I'm trying to remember how I disabled gdm in the first place so I
can have it start up automatically when I boot up the computer.

OK I re-enabled gdm using 'System -- Administration -- Services' and
now it starts up automatically when my system boots up. This gives me a
workaround so that my admin utilities now allow me to authenticate with

no debian policykit. it was installed with hardy. it was just an upgrade
from up-to-date gutsy to hardy. but there's lots of weird stuff with the

i'm puzzled why this bug still has an undecided status.
i've tried a number of upgrades from gutsy to heron, and heron basically
is unusable for many things because of this. the defaults for policykit

Is there really no fix for this problem? For a month now I can't use any
of the Ubuntu admin utilities. This is very frustrating! :(

Bugs,
I've come accross the same bug with freenx. I guess somehow gtk or gnome
initialization fails. E.g. time-admin gives the following error message
when started from a freenx desktop within a shell:

for process '6522'

This bug also occurs when using LTSP as an administrator logged in from
a thin client and not directly at the console.

I've found that this happens only when I connect to the Ubuntu machine

Have you checked /etc/hosts. With hardy, the initial entry was something
like:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 aaa.bbb.com
when it should be
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 aaa.bbb.com name of machine, e.g. ubuntu
This solved it for me.

Thanks for the comment. Here's my /etc/hosts:
-$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 jake
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
... although to be safe I'd rather declare a domain as showed
previously, e.g.
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 aaa.bbb.com jake
Playing with the hosts file is not for the faint-hearted ...
