prob with policykit1-kde; battery monitor? [SOLVED]
Is anybody else getting this message when starting KDE4.4.1?
"We are sorry. PolicyKit1-KDE closed unexpectedly."
"Details: Executable: polkit-k"de-authentication-agent-1 PID: 4527 Signal: 6 (Aborted)"Perhaps related, perhaps not: Stock panel battery monitor no longer recognizes battery.
Could this be due to the recent dbus and dbus-core updates on March 23 (1.2.20 -> 1.2.22)?

Re: prob with policykit1-kde; battery monitor? [SOLVED]
It does appear that dbus is the culprit. When I reverted to dbus-1.2.20-1 and dbus-core-1.2.20-1 from *.1.2.22, my KDE battery panel battery monitor began responding again, and the policykit error went away, too.

Re: prob with policykit1-kde; battery monitor? [SOLVED]
This is happening to me too. It started happening immediately after the dbus update for me, too.
I also happened to notice that the system-wide dbus instance (that is, the one that shows up in the ps output as "/usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system" running as user "dbus") crashes upon startup of KDE. (It shown up in ps output before KDE starts, but not after, and upon running shutdown, the output from the /etc/rc.d/dbus script says that it failed to stop dbus.)
It looks like it might be because of this bug: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18796

Could be. Have you applied the patch that's discussed in the comments section of the bug entry? I'd be interested in knowing if that fixes things.
Since things are working O.K. with dbus-1.2.20, I'll probably sit tight until the Arch package includes the patch or until dbus itself is fixed.

No, I haven't tried the patch.

To whom it may concern:
The latest update to dbus and dbus-core (1.2.24-1) fixes the problems described in this thread.
