Bug#726407: gnome-control-center-data: Cannot authenticate to change the date/time configuration

[Laurent Bigonville]

Package: gnome-control-center-data
Version: 1:3.8.3-3
Severity: important

Hi,

When trying to authenticate myself in the Date&Time panel I'm always
getting an "Authentication failure" error.

In the auth.log file I have the following line:

Oct 15 10:24:00 soldur polkitd(authority=local): Operator of unix-session:/org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session5 FAILED to authenticate to gain authorization for action org.gnome.controlcenter.datetime.configure for unix-process:22295:8151010 [gnome-control-center --overview] (owned by unix-user:bigon)

There are quite some difference between the pkla file shipped and all the other
.rules and .policy file shipped in the package.

Adding the "org.gnome.controlcenter.datetime.configure" action in the
pkla file allows me to modify the time configuration with entering my
password.

I guess that other actions are missing and that the .pkla file needs
review.

Cheers

Laurent Bigonville
