It seems that I have policykit-desktop-privileges installed:
laurens@laurens-desktop:~$ dpkg --list > test.txt laurens@laurens-desktop:~$ cat test.txt | grep 'policykit-desktop-privileges' ii policykit-desktop-privileges 0.19 all run common desktop actions without password I've also checked it in Synaptic and it also showed it as installed. I've attached my /etc/pam.d/common-session file. It seems that I have the required line. If there's anything else I can do or a debug guide I can follow I'll be happy to spend some time on this. ** Attachment added: "common-session" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1377727/+attachment/4227642/+files/common-session -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1377727 Title: Desktop permissions (e.g shutdown, network, users) broken for all accounts after upgrade to 14.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1377727/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
