I'm also having this problem. I have just recently upgraded from 14.04 to 14.10 Ubuntu.
I am wondering if this could in any way have to do with two administrator users on the same system. My system always has four users and two of them are administrators. I've never had anything like this happen before. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1240336 Title: Not authorized to perform operation / Unable to determine the session we are in: No session for pid To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/1240336/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
