of course now polkit is 0.113-1 Thanks for your report. Does (systemctl restart polkit.service) as root fix this? sorry but I can't help you as I installed newest polkit from bodhi. And I do not remember if I rebooted before starting yumex-dnf :-(. I have added bob that is suffering same bug I have received one other report of this, which suggests that restart does work; and there already is an updated 0.113-2 package in bodhi which will cause the restart to happen (i.e. this was already fixed in -1 but only takes effect on -2). I’m afraid there is no way to accelerate the fix other than giving -2 karma. Bob, if restarting polkitd does not help, please reopen this bug or comment here. Miloslav, on another machine systemctl restart polkit.service works fine (I had forgotten that I am running an additional machine) Thanks for the confirmation. I apologize about the bug (and I do wonder how I could have missed this) but as explained above the only thing that can help now is giving karma to https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-11486/polkit-0.113-2.fc22 . (An independent confirmation that not restarting polkitd and updating to this package works would also be welcome.) I had the problem on two computers, this one is working noramlly after rebboting and removing a dropbox repo that had been causing tro7uble. However the other oneon which I ran dnf update --exclude polkit does not work. Not after running dnf update to get the polkit update and rebooting a couple of times. Password is still not recognized. I usually update from command line so I guess I can wait for things to improve?

Can you paste the output of (rpm -qa 'polkit*'), please? > [root@box7 bobg]# rpm -qa 'polkit*'
> polkit-libs-0.113-1.fc22.x86_64
> polkit-0.113-1.fc22.x86_64
> polkit-gnome-0.105-7.fc22.x86_64
> polkit-pkla-compat-0.1-5.fc22.x86_64
So, everything updated, I have also verified that polkit-gnome as an agent works fine for me.
Is there anything interesting in the logs around the time of the failed password authentication?
I have nothing more to add to this. |
