<noob warning: FBSD day 6>
Despite my best efforts to find a solution out in general Google land, I seems to have an intractable problem with Polkit or a related system/daemon/module.
Symptoms:
Possible Diagnostic Messages
Current rc.conf
System
Intel dualcore 3ghz; 4 gB ram; FBSD 7.2; Gnome 2.26 (? 'About Gnome' also doesn't work, it should be the latest version)
Thank you for any help you can muster.
Despite my best efforts to find a solution out in general Google land, I seems to have an intractable problem with Polkit or a related system/daemon/module.
Symptoms:
Code:
The Grant button under systems/preferences/authorizations
is perpetually greyed out. I can not make changes.
The Add User button (system/administration/users and groups)
is also perpetually greyed out. (I know no one would ever
add users from there, it's just a symptom of the problem)
I can't shutdown or restart (although sudo shutdown and
reboot do work) using Gnome's functions.
All these symptoms are true for root as well as *usr01* (who
is a member of wheel, though that is the only group).
