So root is working, good point. $ ps PID TTY TIME CMD 12237 pts/3 00:00:00 bash 12994 pts/3 00:00:00 ps $ pkcheck --action-id com.ubuntu.systemservice.setproxy --allow-user-interaction --process 12994 Obviously this won't work, since 12994 is the PID of ps, which has died by the time you call pkcheck. Could you retry with the PID of bash?
I don't know how you installed your system, but you can't create the administrator with 'useradd' since for that you need an account with administrator rights. What groups is the default user member of? Anyway, 'useradd' can't add users to 'admin', since most users shouldn't be granted administration rights. More generally, you shouldn't use 'useradd' to create users, but 'adduser'. Granted, this distinction is silly, but the second is an improved wrapper around the first, and it adds the users to the right groups. -- PolicyKit authentication always fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/598909 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
