GLib-CRITICAL console-kit-daemon

  • 772

A fresh install of 14.04 with KDE installed yields the following error:

[...]

which tends to spam to stdout/stderr and syslog, which is rather annoying. It seems to trigger whenever I connect to the box via ssh. Any pointers on how to fix the problem would be much appreciated.

  1. I "fixed" it by:

    apt-get remove consolekit

    consolekit is no longer actively maintained. As far as I'm aware there is a fork named consolekit2 and apparently for systemd users basically the same functionality is included in systemd-logind. As I'm only using a vm without desktop, no replacement is needed at all.

  2. Running

    sudo apt-get install lxpolkit

    fixed the problem.

    I am running Lubuntu.

  3. What caused this problem for me was that the package policykit was not installed, so I installed it :

    sudo apt-get install policykit

    The problem seems to be solved after doing this.
