This is due to consolekit misconfiguration. Most people ignore recommended dependency of Linux PAM on the ConsoleKit page, which is really, really *required* if you want ConsoleKit to work correctly. On the other hand, I use systemd, which has logind - a replacement for consolekit so I don't really know if polkit works anymore with just consolekit. Post output of ck-list-sessions. It should read something like (if the memory serves me well) active: yes, local: yes. If these two are not yes, then consolekit is not configured correctly. -- Note: My last name is not Krejzi. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
