Bug Description
Lubuntu 11.10 64bit When I try to run Synaptic from menu, nothing goes on. I can authenticate and run the program only in console since recently.
Here is some information I have in .xsession-errors:
** (polkit-
Cannot register authentication agent: GDBus.Error:
and also
** (pcmanfm:2278): DEBUG: launch command: <synaptic-pkexec>
** (pcmanfm:2278): DEBUG: sn_id = pcmanfm-
Error creating textual authentication agent: Error opening current controlling terminal for the process (`/dev/tty'): No such device or address
If I re-install sudo or dbus packages, and reboot the system, then everything is okay, but it helps only until I reboot the computer the second time. So it helps only during one session.
