Description Sam Morris 2009-08-09 03:33:28 UTC

PolicyKit will occasionally screw up the ACL entries on my CD-ROM and audio
devices.

Sometimes this happens when I resume my laptop from suspend, but occasionally my Linux system in a virtual machine will randomly lose its ACLs.

Switching to another virtual terminal and then back again causes the ACLs to be restored.

For example, this morning when I woke the laptop up, I was no longer in
the ACLs for any of the devices in /dev/snd.

According to ck-list-sessions, I'm still logged in:

Session116:
	unix-user = '1000'
	realname = 'Sam Morris,,,'
	seat = 'Seat1'
	session-type = ''
	active = TRUE
	x11-display = ':0'
	x11-display-device = '/dev/tty8'
	display-device = ''
	remote-host-name = ''
	is-local = TRUE
	on-since = '2009-06-20T18:58:19.206724Z'
	login-session-id = '4294967295'
