After a new install of 64 bit Ubuntu 13.10 on my second partition, I used dpkg to reinstall all the same packages I had on my 32 bit 13.04 partition. I copied all my home directory files over and updated all the packages. I now find that I don't have permissions to change the network settings; I can't mount my other hard drive or any USB stick using nautilus, or (udisks without using sudo)' I can't run synaptic by clicking on the GUI (I have to go to a terminal and sudo synaptic); etc. I can't find any documentation on the configuration of policykit-desktop-privileges, so I'm filing this bug. For me it appears to be totally broken. Maybe someone can help me out.

Thanks,

Rob
