Thanks, but... what are you trying to tell me?  I already started
vncserver as service along the lines of the above

+-ExecStart=/sbin/runuser -l USER -c /usr/bin/vncserver %i -geometry 
WIDTHxHEIGHT

for a long time, but it did not start a valid session and thus
polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 didn't start.  My .vnc/xstartup then
calls /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc and my .Xclient calls startxfce4 (with
--with-ck-launch until yesterday).  I don't see anything in the above
which would change that behaviour.

Oh, wow, it was that simple?  Just removing the subject.active did it?

Thank you very much for this simple solution!

Btw., just for the records, I had found an ugly workaround in the
meantime, but it did the trick:

I started startxfce4 from ~/.Xclients via `ssh localhost'.  This
enforced a valid session, which made polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1
start up normally.

But this is much better.  I'll now go and build xfce4-session with the
patch you provided in the other mail and play with that a bit.


Thanks again,
Corinna

polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 fails to start after F17-F18 update

2013-06-22 Thread Corinna Vinschen 
Hi,

I just updated a server machine from F17 to F18.  This server is
running a local VNC session which I connect to via SSH.  It's using
an XFCE4 desktop environment.

The machine is running a lot of virtual machines and so far there
was a virt-manager instance running in the VNC desktop.

After the upgrade to F18, virt-manager no longer starts:

  Unable to connect to libvirt.

  authentication failed: polkit: Authorization requires authentication
  but no agent is available.

So I checked and, yes, there's actually no agent running, there's no
polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 process, as usual.

In the XFCE4 Session settings, starting the PolicyKit Authentication
Agent is activated.  But polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 simply
doesn't start.  When I try to start it from the command line, I only
get an error message:

  $ /usr/libexec/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1

  (polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:5772): polkit-gnome-1-WARNING **:
  Unable to determine the session we are in: No session for pid 5772

I know next to nothing about polkit.  To get virt-manager working I added
a rule once:

  $ cat /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/80-libvirt-manage.rules
  polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
if (action.id == org.libvirt.unix.manage
 subject.active
 subject.isInGroup(libvirt)) {
  return polkit.Result.YES;
}
  })

but that is taken from information on the net, and it obviously can't
help when there's no agent running.

So, how can I fix this?  How can I make polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1
start in my VNC XFCE4 session again?


Thanks for any help,
Corinna
