Public bug reported: Dear audience,
when trying to shutdown the system from the Lubuntu "Logout" menu item, a dialog pops up telling me that "System policy prevents stopping the system when other users are logged in. Authentication is needed to perform this action". Fine, so far. But, after 5 seconds, the dialog disappears, not giving me the chance to enter my password. I could trace that down to polkit action "consolekit stop-multiple- users" and the lxsession-logout program, but then I'm lost. I can't see where the timeout can be increased. When I logout all sessions on the system, the shutdown takes place immediately without authentication needed. When I do other tasks, e.g. system updates, authentication dialogs come up and stay forever, long enough to enter passwords.
