I am tackling things one by one since Daedalus upgrade.

I can't seem to catch it where I can associate the pid with a file.

I have not seen it complain about anything desktop related, it may or
may not happen, I just haven't seen it.


FWIW

grep polkitd /etc/passwd
polkitd:x:115:129:polkit,,,:/nonexistent:/usr/sbin/nologin

so polkitd is a valid username.


It is not in either session.conf or system.conf though.

kdibble@anna:/usr/share/dbus-1$ grep polkitd *.conf


Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ken
