Hi guys
I'm on Ubuntu 14.04, running the xubuntu-desktop setup.
Software center keeps failing with permission errors, and I've managed to uncover that this is due to a component named polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 not running.
Every article I've read about this suggests to try and execute it from xterm after having logged in, but when I do this, I just get this error:
Code:
** (polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:24806): WARNING **: Unable to register authentication agent: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: Cannot determine user of subject
Cannot register authentication agent: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: Cannot determine user of subject
The only reference to this error I've found had to do with problems starting the agent during login, but for me it fails even if I start it from the command line after having logged in.
Anybody have any ideas? I'd love to get this working.
