NOOBS 1.4.2 Fresh Install GDBus.Error

[EverywhereSean]

Recently received my Raspberry Pi 2, I installed NOOBS 1.4.2 and did the custom "raspi-config" stuff. When I type "startx", it gives me "GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: An authentication agent already exists for the given subject", I've lurked online for a solution. Everyone suggests the "lxsession-edit" -> uncheck "LXPolKit", but mine doesn't display "LXPolKit" for me... What do?

Having this same problem. Trying to VNC into my Pi2 from my Mac. Getting an error message and my pointer in the VNC window is an "X" that won't let me click on anything. Also tried VNCing in from my iPad with identical results. I also don't see "LXPolKit" when I enter lxsessions-edit in terminal. Any advice would be appreciated! TIA.

try to edit /etc/xdg/autostart/lxpolkit.desktop and change the entry from NotShowIn=GNOME;KDE; to NotShowIn=GNOME;KDE;LXDE;
that worked to me in the past...
with the newer Raspbian i didn't have that issu anymore...
possibly you should do an dist-upgrade from your old Raspbian to the newest.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get -y --purge autoremove && sudo apt-get -y autoclean

why you are using NOOBS 1.4.2... use always the newest of the newest... (currently NOOBS 1.7.0)
oops... it is that an old post...

Ah, dang. I forgot to mention that my Pi2 is running the latest Raspbian and I am still getting the same error message.
