So we're on a completely different bug now. The dbus issue was likely
related to permissions on a file included in the package. It would be
interesting to reproduce in a virtual machine a fresh install of ubuntu-
server and then install ubuntu-desktop, checking if the issue happens
everytime. But the desktop team is busy with other things, and I'm not
sure they will consider this as high priority. So if you have some free
time... :-p
About the authentication issue, there are cases where PolicyKit
considers it won't be able to check for privileges. I don't remember
exactly what they are - it's very likely that an account with an empty
password won't be able to authenticate, so you may check this.
Else, please run 'users-admin' in a terminal without the sudo (which is not
supported), and see whether interesting messages appear. If not, kill the
'polkitd' system daemon, and restart it via:
sudo /usr/lib/policykit-1/polkitd
Then, reproducing the problem should show interesting information.
You may also need to start /usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-
authentication-agent-1, which should be started on login normally.
