What is the output of 1. polkit-auth --explicit-detail 2. ck-list-session from inside a normal session (not logged in as root). (btw that would be ck-list-sessions, not ck-list-session) Immediately after attempting to restart from the GNOME menu:
org.pulseaudio.acquire-high-priority
Authorized: No
Scope: Indefinitely
Obtained: Wed Dec 12 06:13:00 2007 by auth as root (uid 0)
Constraint: Session must be on a local console
Constraint: Session must be active
Session1:
uid = '0'
realname = 'root'
seat = 'Seat1'
session-type = ''
active = FALSE
x11-display = ''
x11-display-device = ''
display-device = '/dev/tty1'
remote-host-name = ''
is-local = TRUE
on-since = '2008-02-27T02:12:58Z'
idle-since-hint = '2008-02-27T02:13:41Z'
It's because your session isn't listed as active. Reassigning to ConsoleKit. Actually the session isn't listed at all. How are you logging into GNOME? GDM, startx, etc? Logging in via xdm (hate the new gdm interface), with ~/.xsession linked to /usr/bin/gnome-session. |
