Public bug reported: This seems to be a fairly common syslog error message, it is found all over the internet: pkexec pam_ck_connector(polkit-1:session): cannot determine display-device
The solution might be in this file: /etc/pam.d/polkit-1 #%PAM-1.0 @include common-auth @include common-account @include common-password session required pam_env.so readenv=1 user_readenv=0 session required pam_env.so readenv=1 envfile=/etc/default/locale user_readenv=0 @include common-session where polkit needs to be made aware that we are most often on display 0:0 perhaps some of these go away with the newer version 0.106 http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/PolicyKit/ ** Affects: policykit-1 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1019108 Title: pkexec pam_ck_connector(polkit-1:session): cannot determine display- device To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-1/+bug/1019108/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
