I am setting up a new laptop using 12.3 RC2 and I copied my home directory and a bunch of stuff from my old laptop. Somewhere along the line I messed up some permission settings and I cannot login :(

I use lightdm and am trying to start an XFCE session as the user (non root). When I try to login the login screen disappears for a bit and then returns. I can login as root and XFCE runs fine. The .xession-errors file in the users home directory reads as follows:

Failed to issue method call: Access denied Failed to inhibit: Unknown error -1

Unfortunately this doesn't give me a lot of clues as to where I messed up the permissions.

Any help is appreciated.

Sounds like Bug #789068, try installing the polkit-default-privs update from openSUSE:12.3:Update.

Bingo, zypper up solved the problem.
