btw, what I finally did was changed the monitor setting to generic (or something like that); then it has worked since; i have been able to run the latest unbuntu and not in safe mode ... I just checked and now the monitor setting is Dell 15 1024x768 normal, 60Hz ... so it has gone back to that somehow.

I found the reason of the problem and I feel like a stupid, but maybe could happened to others, the problem is that without notice I login in GNOME failsafe mode and that's the problem with generalized authentication problems, so is good to review if someone else is login in the same way and one of the effects is that from Ubuntu center software install button don't do anything.

[Bug 499937] Re: [master] install/remove buttons don't react when policykit is not running
Excuse me if I wrote this in another duplicated, and any mistakes I'm not English native speaker, but maybe this give to you more clues about the problem. Maybe the problem in bigger than that, because I have the same problem after reinstall pulseaudio (because headphones don't mute speakers and right now I have the problem and more) startup applications doesn't work (specially nm-applet --sm-disable is the most important, maybe the policy kit too as you point here), Installation by Ubuntu software center the same problem than here, In Ubuntu tweak I cannot unlock anything and some administratives task I cannot do since pulse audio uninstall. For instance, I cannot change my own user privileges or activate propietary drivers and my folders (Documents, Downloads, Public, etc) in the left panel of Nautilis dissapear and cannot put them in its original place on Nautilus, among others task and weird things. Take in account that my user is a sudoer and all this stuff worked before. Another friend had the same problem and follow the steps to update pulse audio and the same or when another users unistall some system-wide applications. I tried removing completely (even home directory) and recreate my user from another sudoer and again the same problems. But if I create a new administrator user, it have everything correct, something in another place that have a record for users permissions or something is the problem and when the user is eliminated don't eliminate its information, because even re-creating the problematic user cannot recover its original situation. this is the output in my laptop when launch the policy kits myu...@ubuntu:~$ /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1 New PolkitAgentListener 0x11e44e0 Adding new listener PolkitQt1::Agent::Listener(0x11fd5c0) for 0x11e44e0 (unknown:6692): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot register existing type `_PolkitError' (unknown:6692): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed Someone said that a workaround is launching Gnome policy kit and this is the output and I'm not sure if it wasn't launched on startup process as the kde version.

I could raise an e.g. AuthAgentMissingError in aptdaemon - I get this information from PolicyKit.

Hi Sebastian. I had been thinking of using the AuthorizationFailed error from aptdaemon that you introduced a little while back. What would the difference be between that one and the AuthAgentMissingError be? If you could let me know which one we should be using, then I'll adapt s-c to use it.

My addition: policykit seems to fail starting, just like several other items in my etc/xdg/autostart/ folder, fx. Parcellite and GnomeDo. I've had this problem for a while (10.04, latest updates, including proposed- updates).

Hi Peter. Thanks for the additional info. It is probably a good idea to report a separate bug concerning the last comment.
