Raspberry Pi 2 GDBus.Error on start up

Question

I just got my new Raspberry Pi 2 and installed RASPBIAN using NOOBs.

On start up I get this error. Its in a message box in the middle of the screen. If I hit ok the GUI seems to work find anyway.

GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: Cannot determine user of subject

I have looked around and for similar errors people suggest this to fix the problem

Preferences->Desktop Session Settings" and un-check "PolicyKit Authentication Agent"

However there is no "Preferences->Desktop Session Settings" that I can find.

Does anyone else with a raspberry Pi 2 have this problem with a fresh install of RASPBIAN? Or do you know where I can find these Preferences.

Thanks

Same here. Two units, both gave the same error message on first use of startx. Both do not show the error on subsequent starts. — user26939, Feb 12, 2015 at 17:11

If no LXPolKit option then try this :

The lx policy kit still runs, it just doesn't report errors ...

I started seeing this error after installing xrdp, this advice fixed it though. Thanks ^_^

I don't have the LXPolKit item in that window. I show Blueman Applet, GSettings Data Conversion, LXInput autostart, lxkeymap, and Notification Daemon. Everything except GSettings Data Conversion is checked. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

in my system i didn't see the policykit setting in Desktop Session Settings. so only after installing this package "policykit-1-gnome" i saw it and could disable it.
