This appears to be fixed in the version of systemd shipped with Fedora 22. My description doesn't quite match what was happening either. Basically if you log in, log out, and log in again you cannot use any of the policykit actions that require you to be considered "active" even though all the loginctl output indicates you are in fact "active". If another user logs in you can log in and it will work. It's only two logins from the same user in a row that breaks all the policykit actions (requires admin.) Is it possible to take the fix to Fedora 21? Either backporting the fix, or upgrading to an newer systemd version? Or is there a workaround (for a single non-root user), other than rebooting the machine or searching for another use who will temporary log in at the console? Its a problem for our users because most of use the same machine all day and some log out in the evening and log in again at the next morning. Thanks in advance! This is what I used to upgrade to release 22 systemd: yum update --releasever=22 systemd My other workaround which only worked for USB mounting was to patch /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks2.policy I'll attach the patch I used... you won't need it if you update systemd which probably fixes many other issues users might encounter.

workaround for USB mounting
Works around USB issue caused by systemd bug. Probably requires a polkitd restart.
