Public bug reported:
I upgraded a machine from Ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04 using "update-manager
-d". After upgrading, rebooting, and logging back in, I had various
user permission problems: I could not change anything in Network
Manager, update-manager told me "Not authorized to perform operation"
when I launched it, sound did not work, Synaptic would not launch from
Dash, etc. Looking for existing bug reports, I found bug 1240336 which
suggested to me that this might be a PAM-related problem. I then
compared the contents of /etc/pam.d to a machine that was freshly
installed with 14.04. Running "pam-auth-update --force" eliminated most
of the differences. Additionally, I removed the libpam-ck-connector
package (which seems to not be needed?). After this, this /etc/pam.d
matched the freshly installed system. After logging out and back in,
the problems were resolved.
