Subject: bug#34788: Trouble starting GNOME -- fails to activate "org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1"

In-Reply-To: <alpine.DEB.2.20.1903081625190.16784@marsh.hcoop.net> (Jack Hill's message of "Fri, 8 Mar 2019 16:26:20 -0500 (EST)")

Hello!

There were two issues:

  1. /var/empty would be 700 and owned by one of the accounts that uses
     it as its home directories.  Consequently, polkitd would fail to
     chdir to it, and thus fail to start.

  2. /var/run/dbus would be 700 as well, but the problem is that it
     contains the daemon’s socket, so D-Bus client would no longer be
     able to connect to it.

Both are fixed with commit d429878daf3e3eb21660ed80934b1d4b0603f6e1.

Sorry for the breakage!

Thanks,
Ludo’.
