Thanks for your report. The error comes from PolicyKit, whose daemon can't be started for some reason. You may work around this problem by running 'sudo /usr/lib/ policykit- 1/polkitd' before starting users-admin. Could you confirm that this works? That information will help us to determine the cause of the bug.
