I booted my laptop with [debug]Enabled=true to compare the logs, and your problem seems to be permissions related. In my logs, if I grep "Found x" I get: Jan 30 18:09:46 acero gdm-password][543]: AccountsService-DEBUG(+): ActUserManager: Found x11 display of session '1': :0 Jan 30 18:09:46 acero

session 'c11': :0 I tries in the consoles c11, c12, and then on the c13 and 14. I don't know why, but it would seem that gdm-password fails to authenticate you. Do you have anything in /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/? I only have 50-default.rules, which Gentoo adds. Also check /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d. Regards. -- Canek Peláez Valdés Posgrado en Ciencia e Ingeniería de la Computación Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México
