Hi Milan, Thanks, and good call. I've cleared out the LDAP user's home directory, and also cleared out /etc/skel from where home directory information was being populated. What I have now is a fresh home directory created on login, and the Policykit agent is still not running once logged in:
dave@ubuntu-desktop:~$ ps -ef | grep policy root 1032 1 0 23:21 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/policykit-1/polkitd dave 1414 1401 0 23:30 pts/0 00:00:00 grep policy I have then proceeded to run the agent manually under the same LDAP account login: dave@ubuntu-desktop:~$ /usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome- authentication-agent-1 (polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:1422): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot register existing type `_PolkitError' (polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:1422): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed In spite of the errors, the agent appears to run (no further error output in the terminal window from which the command is running), and I am prompted for authentication when using Ubuntu Software Center to attempt to install and application for example. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/568748 Title: polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 not started on login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/+bug/568748/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
