http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1159972 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1159972#c1 --- Comment #1 from Maurizio Galli --- I should have also said that this only happened after a fresh install of Tumbleweed. Existing install seem not to be affected, suggesting perhaps a missing dependency -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Sounds like the usual XAUTHLOCALHOST issue. If you fix the hostname to equal what xauth list shows, does it work? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

There was no static hostname set. Setting one solved the issue. I tried a new install in VM and the same issue. Again no static hostname or dhcp hostname is set -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Ok, so pkexec has to pass the XAUTHLOCALHOSTNAME variable.

So can we confirm that this is a bug in pkexec? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
