Well, the polkit port is maintained by desktop@, so you could write to desktop@freebsd.prg too, that would at least widen your audience. > >> You could also try launching polkitd by hand as a user or as root and >> see what it says It should also have a --debug flag. > > 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.

I'd take a look at the policyd and dbus policies in /usr/local/etc/polkit-1 and /usr/local/etc/dbus-1. If something changed there recently, do you have any customizations in those files? Especially the file /usr/local/etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.conf, is it unmodified from what the port installs? There should be a .sample file you can try a diff from. Since there is a .sample file, if in the past this one was modified from any reason, upgrading or reinstalling the port would not update it. -- Guido Falsi
