Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: policykit-1-gnome
In a fully updated maverick_amd64 the newest policykit-1-gnome_0.96-2ubuntu3
does not let me reboot nor shutdown. This is a recent update.
After I have pressed the reboot or shutdown button from the user menu, a small
window opens with an error text:
"policykit is not responding".
If I then press the button "shutdown anyway", the computer reboots or shuts
down within 10 seconds, but not immediately.
This has something to do with user rights, because if I command in terminal:
sudo reboot or
sudo halt (sudo poweroff)
the combuter responds immediately without any errors.
Also, if I downgrade the policykit-1-gnome and libpolkit-gtk-1-0 packages to
the version 0.96-2ubuntu2, the issue is gone
and the user menu works as it should.
** Affects: policykit-1-gnome (Ubuntu)
