This is a Fedora clone for upstream bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18948 Recent fix of the DBUS default policy for system bus: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18229 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=469151 seems to uncover a bug in PolicyKit default policy. That policy only polkituser to own org.freedesktop.PolicyKit, but does not specify any allow rules. If any user is expected to be able to send requests to polkitd over DBUS, policy should probably get something like: <policy context="default"> <allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.PolicyKit"/> </policy> This problem was observed at least with system-config-services.
PolicyKit-0.8-4.fc9 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 9. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/PolicyKit-0.8-4.fc9
PolicyKit-0.9-4.fc10 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 10. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/PolicyKit-0.9-4.fc10
PolicyKit-0.9-4 doesn't seem to solve the issue, at least on F10 x86_64. For example, after any yum operation I get this error: ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on :1.66:/org/freedesktop/PackageKit: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable" member "Introspect" error name "(unset)" destination ":1.66") PackageKit-gnome can't even perform a search: failed to get a TID: A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.PackageKit.Transaction" member "SetLocale" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.PackageKit") (0)
Auto update alert / PackageKit refresh displays the following error. This error occurs on both F9 and F10 A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.PackageKit.Transaction" member "Cancel" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.PackageKit")
Manually firing the "update" thing on Fedora 9 gives me the following error: A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.PackageKit.Transaction" member "GetUpdates" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.PackageKit")
I too am getting this error with system-config-services. I am also observing something very similar with system-config-samba. This seems to be the important part of the error: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.fedoraproject.Config.Samba.Backend" member "readSmbConf" error name "(unset)" destination ":1.90") I am running dbus 1.2.6-1, PackageKit 0.3.11-4, and PolicyKit 0.9-3. This happens with s-c-samba 1.2.67-1 and s-c-services 0.99.28-1. I am running Fedora 10 i386. P.S. With the updated PackageKit I am running, gpk-application actually works, but I had to get the required gnome-packagekit version from updates-testing.

Created attachment 326381 [details] Shows errors during KDE startup Applied PolicyKit-0.9-4.fc10 from testing repo but still the problem persists. I have attached a copy of .xsession-errors which shows some of the problems encountered.
Installed PolicyKit 0.9-4.fc10 and dbus 1.2.8-1.fc10 'Update System' and 'Add/Remove Software' still shows this Error: failed to get a TID: A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.PackageKit.Transaction" member "SetLocale" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.PackageKit") (0)
Have you installed the updated PackageKit as well?
PackageKit was 0.3.11-1 from the update-testing repo. Did not knew that there was anything newer. After installing 0.3.12-1 it works. Unfortunately gpk-application now stalls, when refreshing the package cache at 'Downloading Groups'. May be some issue because I just updated from Fedora 9 to 10 using yum... Thanks for the hint...
Works with PackageKit 0.3.11-4, gnome-packagekit 0.3.11-1 and PolicyKit 0.9-4 Thanks a lot!

Updating PolicyKit-0.9-3.fc10 with PolicyKit-0.9-4.fc10 resolved the issue with system-config-services not opening. Thanks :).
