Thanks for your report.

This looks like bug 554718. Are you running the system from the SC-Card ?

[Guenter Oelgemoeller (guenter-oelgemoeller)]

Hello Jean-Baptiste,

yes, the system starts from an 8GB SC-Card.

What means 'nothing in /proc...'?

And - what policykit-1 ist doing?

Best wishes
Günter

Thanks for following up.

/proc is a pseudo filesystem giving access to kernel informations and policykit is a toolkit to manage administrative policies and privileges.
Without /proc your system won't work well at all.

I'm marking this report as duplicate of 554718. Feel free to add any comment there.

Thanks.
