Bug#820205: gnome-flashback: NetworkManager fails to auth password with gnome-flashback

[Alberts Muktupāvels]

That is very old version... Any chance you could test version from
unstable? Just to know if this is still problem.

Don't know, but this might be fixed by adding extra autostart file for
polkit-gnome or by adding it as RequiredComponent. Dmitry?

Chris, do you have polkit-gnome installed? Try to start it manually
polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 (it is installed in libexecdir so you
will need to use full path).
