It seems that /var/run/ConsoleKit directory and its database is only created by console tty log-ins but not the GUI. There was no directory after GUI Terminal shell started; only after switching to TTY1.
So it would seem this isn't the cause since PCs without ConsoleKit work fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1784964 Title: Regression due to CVE-2018-1116 (processes not inheriting user ID or groups ) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-1/+bug/1784964/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
