The text terminals f1-f6 are still usable. If I reboot (so the X server is started for the first time) the authentication process proceeds without hiccups: Sep 13 13:28:39 pavilion102 polkitd(authority=local): Registered Authentication Agent for session /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session1 (system bus name :1.27 [/usr/lib/kde4/libexec/polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1], object path /org/kde/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale nl_NL@euro) Probably some misconfiguration of PolicyKit.
