The error splash that ends recovery creator

Dell Inspiron 1545, OEM as Ubuntu 9.04 (no dual boot). After upgrading to 9.10, the recovery media creator no longer works. Error splash which follows selection confirmation step is attached.

Not a D-Bus error. Your PolicyKit installation is either missing or invalid. Please check with your distribution.

How can PolicyKit interfere with making a recovery dvd? It worked in 9.04(In reply to comment #0)

Then please downgrade to 9.04 and upgrade only D-Bus. That will show whether it's a D-Bus upgrade issue.

If you change the entire system, we cannot isolate the fault.

Try finding the file that is missing and install the package that should provide it.
Comment 4 Tommy Hoyer 2009-12-11 17:43:53 UTC
Isn't a lot easier to repair any/all Dbus files that are associated with recovery DVD creator utilities? Taking my whole OS back to 9.04 seems a bit drastic.

Please stop reopening. This is not a D-Bus bug.

I don't have Ubuntu, I don't have the application you are having problems with (I have a Dell and I had no idea they had a recovery tool). My system is working fine with D-Bus.

There's an application missing in your system. Please install it. I have no idea what application that is for your system nor what it might be called on Ubuntu. You'll have to find that out for yourself.

Maybe this will help: I have the file you're missing in my system and it's provided by package policykit-kde-4.3.75-4mdv2010.1.i586.rpm.
