This seems to have broken with the lightdm upgrade. Now, I get 2 consolekit sessions:
chr1s@farnsworth:~$ ck-list-sessions Session3: unix-user = '1000' realname = 'Chris Coulson' seat = 'Seat1' session-type = '' active = FALSE x11-display = ':0' x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7' display-device = '' remote-host-name = '' is-local = TRUE on-since = '2011-09-15T21:23:40.636038Z' login-session-id = '4294967295' Session4: unix-user = '1000' realname = 'Chris Coulson' seat = 'Seat1' session-type = '' active = TRUE x11-display = '' x11-display-device = '' display-device = '/dev/tty7' remote-host-name = '' is-local = TRUE on-since = '2011-09-15T21:23:40.648390Z' login-session-id = '4294967295' idle-since-hint = '2011-09-15T21:24:11.284720Z' the inactive session is the one which should be active, so Policykit thinks I'm not on the active console. Downgrading lightdm to 0.9.5-0ubuntu2 and restarting seems to fix it (I get 1 session, as expected now): chr1s@farnsworth:~$ ck-list-sessions Session2: unix-user = '1000' realname = 'Chris Coulson' seat = 'Seat1' session-type = '' active = TRUE x11-display = ':0' x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7' display-device = '' remote-host-name = '' is-local = TRUE on-since = '2011-09-15T21:40:33.541834Z' login-session-id = '4294967295' ** Package changed: nautilus (Ubuntu) => ubuntu ** Changed in: ubuntu Milestone: ubuntu-11.10 => None ** Also affects: Ubuntu Oneiric Importance: High Status: Triaged ** Package changed: Ubuntu Oneiric => lightdm (Ubuntu Oneiric) ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu Oneiric) Importance: High => Critical ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu Oneiric) Assignee: (unassigned) => Canonical Desktop Team (canonical-desktop-team) ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu Oneiric) Milestone: None => ubuntu-11.10-beta-2 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/851055 Title: [Oneiric] 'Not Authorized' error given when mounting device To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/851055/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
