  • Not that I know of. Pre-systemd systems use policykit/consolekit in conjuction with Dbus to enforce login permissions. This leads to two possibilities. 1. The user you're logged in as is not a member of some group, and some group has permission to access the missing service. 2. One of the services monitored by system-config-users is not installed. As a hunch, search your package repo for mate-polkit

I just had the same return when installing deluged on arch, I typed:



 systemctl start deluged


I tried with sudo and it worked fine. Seems to be a group permissions issue.



All I did was enable permissions for my user account and then typed:



 sudo systemctl start deluged


worked like a charm... hope this helps!
