Mageia forum

Hey,

I had to reinstall my Mageia and now whenever I reboot, I see this warning:

"GdBus, Error.org. Freedesktop, Policykit1 Error Failed. An Authentification agent already exists for the subject"

Where would I go to turn this warning off, since it is not needed or is it?

You see this warning where and when exactly? On your desktop in a window, or in the messages shown on tty during shutdown, or during bootup afterwards?

Please also show the output of

Code: Select all

journalctl -ab| grep -iE "gdbus|Policykit"
ps -ef|grep -v grep|grep -iE "polkit|policykit"

The warning shows up right after I log into Mageia, on the desktop.
Here is what I got using the commands you gave me.

Code: Select all

"[billm48@localhost ~]$ journalctl -ab| grep -iE "gdbus|Policykit"
[billm48@localhost ~]$ ps -ef|grep -v grep|grep -iE "polkit|policykit"
polkitd   2294     1  0 23:13 ?        00:00:00 /usr/lib/polkit-1/polkitd --no-debug
billm48   2411  2229  0 23:13 ?        00:00:00 /usr/libexec/polkit-mate-authentication-agent-1
billm48   2429  2229  0 23:13 ?        00:00:00 lxpolkit
[billm48@localhost ~]$"

Okay, so there are two polkit agents running, this explains it. Please edit /etc/xdg/autostart/lxpolkit.desktop and replace the line

Code: Select all

NotShowIn=GNOME;KDE;MATE;XFCE;OPENBOX;Old;

with

Code: Select all

OnlyShowIn=LXDE;

Should be possible to do it directly via

Code: Select all

sed -i.orig 's|^NotShowIn=.*|OnlyShowIn=LXDE;|g' /etc/xdg/autostart/lxpolkit.desktop

FWIW, this was already reported as https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16597 and already fixed for cauldron.

The first time I used:

Code: Select all

sed -i.orig 's|^NotShowIn=.*|OnlyShowIn=LXDE;|g' /etc/xdg/autostart/lxpolkit.desktop

I was denied permission. I then entered

'su' and my root password followed by;

Code: Select all

sed -i.orig 's|^NotShowIn=.*|OnlyShowIn=LXDE;|g' /etc/xdg/autostart/lxpolkit.desktop

Then rebooted and no more GDBus error. Thanks for the help.

Sorry, forgot to mention that you need to run this as root.
And next time please use code tags as explained in ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/mandriva/m ... e_tags.ogv

Please mark the thread accordingly by editing the topic of the first post and prefix it by [SOLVED], thanks
