[Bug 1240336] Re: After release upgrade, the user looses permissions for several basic actions in the system
Actually, it works for installing packages from software center (auth dialog appears), still fails silently sometimes (for example when I try to remove software source PPA). I also created a new admin user, by running sudo gnome-control-center -> Users & Groups. For that user everything works fine. This appears to be a recurring bug which has been reported on Launchpad back in 2013. Every version of ubuntu since is affected by this but not everyone sees the error. On the moment I write this (march 2015) there's no permanent solution, however there are workarounds to solve the problem. For Ubuntu 14.10 the problem appears to be related to the package ulatencyd. Removing this package causes the error to disappear in my situation. If I recall correctly I've installed this package manually on a certain moment in time so it does not belong to a standard install and therefore this might not affect everyone. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1240336 Title: After release upgrade, the user looses permissions for several basic actions in the system To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/1240336/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Using solution from #32 requires the installation of libpam-systemd if you don't already have it.

Made an account to say that #52 worked for me. After upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04 from 12.04, I had lost sound, the ability to shut down/reboot as a normal user, and the ability to mount external SD cards/hard drives. Did "sudo pam-auth-update --force" and "sudo apt-get remove --purge libpam- ck-connector" as #52 suggested, and after a reboot, everything worked again! I should say that at this point my pam.d is close, but not identical to, a fresh 14.04 install. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1240336 Title: After release upgrade, the user looses permissions for several basic actions in the system To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/1240336/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I ran into this problem on Lubuntu 14.04. On that machine, the user created during the installation had no problem but every other regular users were affected. The workaround was to join the regular users to the sudo group to please polkit.
