Hello,
After I did an update of my tumbleweed pc yesterday the pc refused to restart. I couldn't even go to console to execute the shutdown restart command. The only way was to hit the powerbuttom.
Below a part of the log which I think it's relevant.

Yesterday I had no time to investigate the problem.
When I fired up the pc today I noticed polkit.service refuse to start and with that some other services too.

The pc seems to work more of the less normal. Only the log is filled with warnings about polkit and powerdevil

How can I fix this?
To fix something you need to find the reason for the failure. Run polkitd manually without --no-debug option, may be it will provide more information in logs.
