Do expect various scary > warnings there, but most are really just noise. I'm using startxfce4 on the commandline, so I don't have .xesssion-errors. I didn't see any other striking issues on the commandline output, apart from the PolicyKit error messages. > Check if you have any core dumps from polkit laying around.

Turns out, it rather has a --no-debug flag. ;-) With debugging enabled I get the following: --- root@beastie:~ # /usr/local/lib/polkit-1/polkitd Successfully changed to user polkitd 11:52:18.901: Loading rules from directory /usr/local/etc/polkit-1/rules.d 11:52:18.901: Loading rules from directory /usr/local/share/polkit-1/rules.d 11:52:18.901: Finished loading, compiling and executing 1 rules Entering main event loop Connected to the system bus 11:52:18.903: Lost the name org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1 - exiting Shutting down Exiting with code 0 --- Searching about this, this looks like the communication with dbus is not working properly. This matches the error message I previously got from the other end (dbus) in /var/log/messages. Somehow the two processes fail to cumminucate with each other. > Trying to reinstall it (via ports if using ports o with pkg upgrade -f > if using binary packages) could help. Same for it's requirements, I get: Yes, I already tried that, unfortunately without any success. cu Gerrit
