OK, thanks. There doesn't seem to be anything strange happening, but one
of the two processes should have reported an error if it wasn't able to

OK, a new day has begun. In my last attempt, I accidentally used sudo to
start the polkit-gnome-manager.
p...@barbaren:~$ sudo /usr/lib/policykit-1/polkitd > polkitd.log
p...@barbaren:~$ /usr/lib/policykit-gnome/polkit-gnome-manager --no-exit
(polkit-gnome-manager:1987): PolicyKitGnome
Still not... ;-)
PID 2544 seems to be that of a process owned by root. So PolicyKit is
denying access. You should try with a process owned by your user
account. Other logs seem fine.

Actually, I think the crash was due to my passing an invalid pid to

Well, we can't continue debugging using these logs if polkitd crashed
during the process. I strongly suspect the whole issue comes from the
fact that polkitd dies everytime you try to authenticate, which means
I let Apport report bug #540464 regarding the polkitd crash.

Forget about users-admin. It doesn't communicate directly with the
agent, but talks to system-tools-backends, which calls polkitd, which in
turn triggers the agent to perform an authentication. Anyway, use the
second pkcheck command, that's safer.
I'd suggest:

Thanks for the report. The warning you see on start is likely to come
from a bug on 64 bit machines, but it shouldn't be related with your
