OK, so according to upstream it's not a bug in PolicyKit, but in the services that specify <allow_active> instead of <allow_any>. Of course, it would be better if ConsoleKit detected remote sessions as active, but there's no reason anyway why the system-tools-backends shouldn't be available to inactive users, so let's do it.
If you find other packages where it's also an issue, we should consider them too. ** Changed in: policykit-1 (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid ** Changed in: policykit (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid ** Also affects: system-tools-backends (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: system-tools-backends (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: system-tools-backends (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged -- Policy Kit Unlock Buttons Greyed Out when using NX / VNC / LTSP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/221363 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
