Looks like duplicates of #646521 which so far seems to be amd64 specific. Alberto, Randy, could you please try the following: Kill the running polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 process. Start /usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 from a shell. Try to authenticate Check if polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 crashes, attach the output. What kind of login manager are you using? What's the output of ck-list-sessions? Which desktop environment do you use?
