Failed to start Authorization Manager on startup (Related to polkit)

See "systemctl status polkit.service" for details ->

polkit.service - Authorization Manager
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/polkit.service; static; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sun 2018-06-03 00:00:06 UTC; 7s ago

After this computer starts (if I use KDE if I use Gnome it doesn't).

But after start I'm unable to mount another partition - the system responded: You are not authorized to perform this operation: Not authorized to perform operation (polkit authority not available and caller is not uid 0).
Sound doesn't work(No output or input devices found)
And I'm  unable to reboot.

I tried to uninstall polkit, but it doesn't. And reinstalling it gives no errors. Also system is updated.

Re: Failed to start Authorization Manager on startup (Related to polkit)

That's truncated output. However there are a few similar issues already, you likely didn't properly handle https://www.archlinux.org/news/js52-527 … ervention/ post a full pacman.log.

And maybe look through https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=237571 reads like the same issue.

And use [ code ] tags for pasting command output.

Mod note: Moving to NC
