I'd try reinstalling whatever PolicyKit packages seem relevant. Perhaps start trying to locate whatever file hides behind the ".service file" which is supposed to "provide" the "name" "org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1" (goodness! the jargon alone is for me reason enough to stay clear of that stuff -- but I disgress). As a starting point, apt-file search [1] is usually a good help: tomas@trotzki:~$ apt-file search PolicyKit1 policykit-1: /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.conf policykit-1: /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.service policykit-1-doc: /usr/share/doc/policykit-1-doc/html/eggdbus-interface-org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.AuthenticationAgent.html policykit-1-doc: /usr/share/doc/policykit-1-doc/html/eggdbus-interface-org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Authority.html The second line looks like right. So if I were you, I'd try to reinstall the package "policykit-1", e.g. by issuing: sudo apt-get install --reinstall policykit-1 or whatever you favourite reinstallation method is. Take all this with a grain of salt: those packages aren't installed on /my/ machine ;-) Cheers [1] You don't have apt-file? Go, no, RUN! to your next pharmacy uh, apt repo and install it. Right now! -- tomás
