[DOWNGRADED] Networkmanager/polkit/udisks update messed up policies

I made an update today with the main server and I have the following issues:

1) I cant mount removable devices as a user
2) Cant connect to any network and network settings were lost (Networkmanager)

I am using KDE 4.6.2

This is my .xinitrc

#!/bin/sh
#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)

# exec gnome-session
# exec startkde
exec ck-launch-session wm
# exec startxfce4

my rc.conf:

Re: [DOWNGRADED] Networkmanager/polkit/udisks update messed up policies

That does not explain anything. I can not connect either with wicd or networkmanager now, reverting networkmanager package(s) does nothing.
Networkmanager states "Invalid state". It just does nothing when I click on a connection, or asks for the password and just does nothing.
Wicd cannot connect, it says the password is wrong. I dunno, how can they get out such untested packages? Many have this problem or problems connected with polkit/networkmanager/kdeplasma-applets-networkmanager.
[This is probably a polkit bug looking at the fact that wicd does not work too.]

I tried to downgrade polkit with no positive results and reinstalled wicd to make it worked, plus purging the settings out of it. I even had to mount my external USB hard drive with fstab to work-around. I think this bug is much related to the last updates.

Latest updates of what?
I reinstalled wicd with no result. I reinstalled kdeplasma-applets-networkmanager, it did not change anything. I reverted it, it did not change anything. I did the same with networkmanager with the same poor results. I don't know what to do!

Re: [DOWNGRADED] Networkmanager/polkit/udisks update messed up policies

I'd suggest you check if either polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 or polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1 is running.

In Gnome 2 even though there's an autostart entry I have another one with a delay of 10 secs before starting to make sure it is running.

Re: [DOWNGRADED] Networkmanager/polkit/udisks update messed up policies

How do I run these agents? Can you provide me an example of an autostart file? (I know where to place it)

Thanks for the input Aphanic.

Re: [DOWNGRADED] Networkmanager/polkit/udisks update messed up policies

Sure, those are provided by polkit-gnome or polkit-kde and the agents reside in /usr/lib/polkit-gnome or /usr/lib/kde4/libexec respectively.

Autostart files are also provided by these packages, in /etc/xdg/autostart the Gnome one and in /usr/share/autostart the KDE one, but you may put yours in your home directory I think (in Gnome the dir would be ~/.config/autostart).

I have 2 files for the delayed execution, polkit (executable one) and polkit.desktop (the autostart file); here are the contents:

#!/bin/bash
sleep 10
/usr/lib/polkit-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=polkit
Hidden=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Name=Delayed PolicyKit Authentication Agent
Comment=Delayed execution of the authentication agent ensuring it starts.

It can also be launched manually or maybe you can edit the current autostart file to look exec "sleep 10 && polkit-XXX-authentication-agent-1", but I have not tried that.

Hope that helps.

Re: [DOWNGRADED] Networkmanager/polkit/udisks update messed up policies

I'm sorry, I don't know then, both polkit and polkit-gnome were updated at the same time with version 0.101 but polkit-kde is 0.99 (no newer version upstream).

Is there any KDE user experiencing the same as you after the polkit 0.101 update?

It could be this generating the problem.

I would probably wait for an update to come.
