Package: policykit-1-gnome Version: 0.105-5 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I use lightdm and Xfce. The agent is not started on start up, so many functions do not work, such as controlling network through NetworkManager, mounting disks with Nano, running Gparted, powering off or suspending through Xfce's log out panel and possibly others. I tried starting polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 manually, but the process closes/crashes immediately, reporting the following message: (polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:7502): polkit-gnome-1-WARNING **: Unable to determine the session we are in: No session for pid 7502 I read several threads on the internet describing similar issues, but they none of them helped in solving the issue or identifying its cause. This problem presented itself after a recent update. I think that the package itself was not updated, however this is my best bet on where to report this bug. Please let me know if I should provide more information. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.8.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages policykit-1-gnome depends on: ii libc6 2.24-7 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.36.0-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.50.2-2 ii libgtk-3-0 3.22.4-1 ii libpolkit-agent-1-0 0.105-17 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.105-17 ii policykit-1 0.105-17 policykit-1-gnome recommends no packages. policykit-1-gnome suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
