Public bug reported: I reported this bug before as Bug #1372187 but it has been brought to my attention that Ubuntu switched from console-kit to logind after the 13.10 release.
1. System worked without any problems under 14.04 2. Upgrade to 14.10 3. Upgrade went without any problems 4. Notice that standby has disappeared from the "gears" menu 5. notice that I cannot disconnect or change the network connection (exact error is: "(32) Not authorized to control networking.") 6. I can't see, change or unlock setting under Settings > User accounts 7. Running "dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Stop" from the terminal results in the error: "Error org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.NotPrivileged: Not Authorized" 8. Running "sudo pam-auth-update --force" doesn't solve any errors 9. Creating a new user account (sudo adduser) and switching to the account results in the same permission problems. Output of: laurens@laurens-desktop:~$ loginctl list-sessions SESSION UID USER SEAT c1 110 lightdm seat0 c2 1000 laurens seat0 2 sessions listed. Sudo works as expected so I can help to further debug this problem and provide relevant information. Unfortunately I have very limited experience with Logind and PAM so I hope I have reported this to the right package. If someone could point me in the right direction (wiki, man page, tutorial) I would be more than happy to see if I can see what went wrong and if I can debug this myself.
