Description Stef Walter 2014-05-05 06:47:11 UTC
Description of problem:

The ABRT polkit policy is completely desktop-centric and expects that the admin user is logged in an active local session (ie: a seat in logind parlance, with a monitor and keyboard).

This prevents use of ABRT when logged in via ssh (and using pkttyagent as your polkit agent) or via Cockpit.

The <allow_any> tag in polkit policy applies to non-local sessions. It should be set to something other than 'no' unless the action directly affects hardware of the login seat.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

abrt-2.2.1-1.fc20.x86_64

How reproducible:

Every time.
