Actually I think this is the problem: $ /usr/libexec/polkit-gnome-manager (polkit-gnome-manager:16242): PolicyKitGnome-DEBUG: Starting PolicyKit GNOME session daemon version 0.9.2 ** (polkit-gnome-manager:16242): WARNING **: Object already registered at /org/gnome/PolicyKit/Manager, can't re-register at / (polkit-gnome-manager:16242): PolicyKitGnome-DEBUG: Setting kill timer to 30 seconds. Our AuthenticationAgent object is only registered at /org/gnome/PolicyKit/Manager, and isn't allowed to also register at /. Is this new D-Bus behaviour? Attaching a patch which fixes it for me by dropping the older D-Bus path name altogether. Created attachment 357302 [details]
PolicyKit-gnome-reregister.patch
This patch fixes it for me.
Fixing component. I think that 0.9.2-5 attempted to fix this but I'm not sure it does. Doesn't it drop the "/" object name altogether, instead of dropping the "/org/gnome/PolicyKit/Manager" name? I think it needs to register the "/" name. OK, confirmed fixed after all in PolicyKit-gnome-0.9.2-5.fc12. Actual issue is a dbus-glib regression that causes the additional object path registrations to fail. See the fdo bug referenced in the PolicyKit-gnome changelog. I assume the longer object registration was added because davidz wanted to deprecate the "/" object path for some reason. Thus I assumed (and davidz said the patch to PolicyKit-gnome was acceptable) that the preferred object path should be "/org/gnome/PolicyKit/Manager" and used that. Obvious fix is to fix the regression in dbus-glib of course, letting polkit-gnome-manager register both object paths. I'll have to apply this patch to system-config-printer then: PK_AUTH_NAME = 'org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.AuthenticationAgent' -PK_AUTH_PATH = '/' +PK_AUTH_PATH = '/org/gnome/PolicyKit/Manager' PK_AUTH_IFACE = 'org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.AuthenticationAgent' (see bug #518427). |
