Hello
Since a few days, my OS (Linux 3.16.7-29-desktop / openSUSE 13.2 (Harlequin) (x86_64) / KDE 4.14.9 / All updates) keeps asking me for the root password when
All updates are done. Can’t remember any changes I made.
Things work normally after entering the password, but it is annoying.
What can I do?
Thank you!

This most likely means that your session is not considered local. For a start, what loginctl list-sessions shows?
Thank you arvidjaar!
it shows:
SESSION UID USER SEAT
1 1000 theo seat0
1 sessions listed.
What does it mean?
OK, and what “loginctl show-session 1” says?
It says:
Id=1

Strange: This time after booting, everything works normally again. But this afternoon, I’ve started the computer several times, and it always showed the problem.
That said, I was always able to shutdown without login prompt, but not to suspend or to mount usb drives and network.
Timing problem at boot time?
Thank you.
That’s possible. Next time please check loginctl show-session, whether it says “Active=no”. There were known cases of this problem. Background - standard authorization rules allow many actions to active local console sessions. There were known problems when session was not considered active. Do you have all current updates? What display manager and desktop environment you use?
Thank you, I will check this.
Yes, all updates and standard KDE installation.
Linux 3.16.7-29-desktop
openSUSE 13.2 (Harlequin) (x86_64)
KDE 4.14.9
There was a update to polkit that cause this try dropping back. Here 0113 is broken and 0112 works. Once you go back protect the 3 associated packages. if you don’t mark all it or parts will want to update again.
Thank you.
Is this the same problem?
