Description of problem: after upgrade to F17 , I got several "not authorized" see for example bug 820675 I notice when I run polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1, I got assertion Failed /usr/libexec/kde4/polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1 New PolkitAgentListener 0x225bac0 Adding new listener PolkitQt1::Agent::Listener(0x23d0b50) for 0x225bac0 "Cannot create unix session: No session for pid 8986" ** (process:8986): CRITICAL **: polkit_agent_listener_register: assertion `POLKIT_IS_SUBJECT (subject)' failed "Cannot register authentication agent!" (process:8986): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed How I fix this ?
polkit works just fine, seems like it's a problem with KDE's usage of it, reassigning
rpm -q polkit-qt polkit-kde please. While we're at it, may be worth doing: yum distro-sync to make sure you've got the right versions of all packages installed (in case something got missed during the upgrade)
hi , I will provide detailed information at end of the night (2300 UTC) , this happens on my home desktop. but I think I had done yum distro-sync and use rpmconf to clean up rpmnew and rpmsaves, and I think this begins to happens just after rpmconf cleanup !
Hi, I already fixed it. but could happen to someone else. rpm -q polkit-qt polkit-kde polkit-qt-0.103.0-2.fc17.x86_64 polkit-kde-0.99.0-4.fc17.x86_64 but: rpm -q polkit-qt polkit-kde -V I got several prelink: (...).so: at least one of file's dependencies has changed since prelinking I remember that I had already run /etc/cron.daily/prelink so I do yum reinstall polkit-qt-0.103.0-2.fc17.x86_64 polkit-kde-0.99.0-4.fc17.x86_64 and after reboot (important) every thing works fine. and rpm -q polkit-qt polkit-kde -V gives a clean result.
that's odd, so basically some prelink wierdness going on, fun.
Are you using the proprietary NVidia driver? If so, it's probably a duplicate of bug #751891.

I use the proprietary NVidia driver, on that machine , but prelink warnings was in rpm -V polkit-qt polkit-kde but don't see any relation, I just got a simple message that can't register authentication agent , and apper pop ups a dialog saying that I am not authorized. any way see if I have problems with prelink ?
