Cleaned up /etc/pam.d and used "sudo pam-auth-update" and "sudo pam-
auth-update --force" to autofix thing. I found I had an extra likewise
PAM profile in /usr/share/pam-configs/.
Nothing worked.
Finally, I retried a previous solution:
Tried version of #32
* Added
session required pam_loginuid.so
session required pam_systemd.so
to top of /etc/pam.d/kdm
Logout, Restart X, Login
This worked. Mounting is fixed. System Settings->Login Screen reports
"You will be asked to authenticate before saving" and it does indeed
when I apply.
I know that the order of selection is important to PAM, but I haven't yet
compared my PAM files to a working system to find out where these entries
really need to be placed.
Why didn't I need them before the upgrade OR why where they removed on upgrade?
The file dates seem to indicate that the PAM entries were not in the kdm file
or @include chains before the update.
Previous entries of "pam_loginuid.so" and "pam_systemd.so" via grep:
/etc/pam.d/common-session:session optional pam_systemd.so
/etc/pam.d/sshd:session required pam_loginuid.so
Since "pam_loginuid.so" is relegated to SSHD, it was never in the chain of PAM
for a local login.
The "pam_systemd.so" is third from the bottom in the common-session file. This
is where I made my previous changes in #46.
I'll do a few more tests.

Bug description:
After a new install of 64 bit Ubuntu 13.10 on my second partition, I
used dpkg to reinstall all the same packages I had on my 32 bit 13.04
partition. I copied all my home directory files over and updated all
the packages. I now find that I don't have permissions to change the
network settings; I can't mount my other hard drive or any USB stick
using nautilus, or (udisks without using sudo)' I can't run synaptic
by clicking on the GUI (I have to go to a terminal and sudo synaptic);
etc. I can't find any documentation on the configuration of
policykit-desktop-privileges, so I'm filing this bug. For me it
appears to be totally broken. Maybe someone can help me out.
Thanks,
Rob
