michael-dance - your issue is different to the issue described by neal- landry. Your issue seems to be because you're trying to authenticate from a session which is not on the active console, and the behaviour there is expected.
The output of ck-list-sessions looks wrong, as your session seems to have been added to a dynamic seat, which would break things in the way you describe. Could you please edit the "Exec=" line in /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.service to read "/usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon --debug", then restart, log in and attach your /var/log/syslog? -- Cannot Unlock "System > Administration > Login Screen" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/431147 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
