As Chris Coulson wrote, the problem can be solved by using System -> Administration -> Authorizations. Of course, for those of us that don't have access to that one either (due to the same problem, I assume), the sollution is to start it with gksudo polkit-gnome-authorization This lets you give e

tjmoerland - your problem is most definately related to that. As you aren't using GDM, your session isn't being registered properly with ConsoleKit, which is why both "ck-list-sessions" and "polkit-auth --show-obtainable" both produce no output. -- 'Unlock' button is grayed out in system tools ht

Chris, thank you for your comment. I read through some other threads and understood that this was indeed correct behavior for remote sessions. However, I was at the specific server's console at the beginning of the week and I still couldn't unlock the applications. I have the same behavior on a Vir

rjmoerland - the reason that it doesn't work for you is because you are not on the active console when you launch users-admin, so you can't authenticate using Policykit. This isn't a bug, and Policykit is behaving as expected with the default Ubuntu profile. You can change this behaviour by going

I've seen something similar, but I think it's because my uid is below 1000. I still can use sudo and synaptic asks for password as it should, but I can't change time settings via gnome for example. (hardy amd64) -- 'Unlock' button is grayed out in system tools https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/28

On a (potentially) related note: Is it likely that whatever is causing this is also responsible for my inability to mount any USB drives? They're listed in Nautilus, but Mount Volume does nothing - no mounting, no error message. -- 'Unlock' button is grayed out in system tools https://bugs.launch
