Thanks! Seems that PolicyKit is running correctly. Does
sudo killall polkitd; sudo /usr/lib/policykit-1/polkitd
report any error?
It may be that you're not detected as an active user, which could come from a
ConsoleKit problem. Then, connecting via VNC would actually matter, if there's
a bug in that part. You can edit
/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.SystemToolsBackends.policy, find
the lines
<defaults>
<allow_inactive>no</allow_inactive>
<allow_active>auth_admin_keep</allow_active>
</defaults>
and put "auth_admin_keep" instead of "no" on the <allow_inactive> line. You may
also set both to "yes", but don't forget to revert this change after you tested
it. This should allow users to change settings without authentication, the
first line is for users not detected as active (as the name says :-p ). Hope
this helps...
