Jan 18 10:58:57 beastie dbus-daemon[36795]: [system] Failed to activate
service 'org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1': timed out
(service_start_timeout=25000ms)
---
However, I'm unable to find out /why/ this happens and how to fix it.
Any hints?
Not easy to guess. Also, while I do work on xfce ports I know little
about polkit details. xfce uses it, but it's not part of xfce.
Thanks for your time. Is there any better place where I could ask
about this?
Well, the polkit port is maintained by desktop@, so you could write to
desk...@freebsd.prg too, that would at least widen your audience.
You could also try launching polkitd by hand as a user or as root and
see what it says It should also have a --debug flag.
Turns out, it rather has a --no-debug flag. ;-)
With debugging enabled I get the following:
---

Searching about this, this looks like the communication with dbus is not
working properly. This matches the error message I previously got from the
other end (dbus) in /var/log/messages. Somehow the two processes fail to
cumminucate with each other.
I'd take a look at the policyd and dbus policies in
/usr/local/etc/polkit-1 and /usr/local/etc/dbus-1. If something changed
there recently, do you have any customizations in those files?
Especially the file
/usr/local/etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.conf, is it
unmodified from what the port installs? There should be a .sample file
you can try a diff from.
Since there is a .sample file, if in the past this one was modified from
any reason, upgrading or reinstalling the port would not update it.
