[Bug 819328] Re: [Oneiric] update-manager crashed with DBusException in _run(): org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

[David Biesack]

Can someone describe what "You need a policykit agent in your custom x session" means - how does one achieve this? I'm not having much luck finding documentation/guides on this.
'apt-get upgrade' from a console window works for me but update-manager still fails.

Or better yet, is there a guide for "missing" components that one should
add in a bare xsession in order to get essential features working like
update-manager.

Bug description:
  Run update-manager and get authentication dialog window, which surprised me because it wasn't expected since it never asked for a passwd before and it was told that this is by design, see comment #9 in Bug #814331
  ## It should also be clarified which policy is correct authentication request or not in order to know which behaviour is a bug.

  Then I obviously waited too long to insert a passwd and it crashed unexpected.
  When returning to workspace with still running update-manager it states all updates done, system ist up-to-date.
  When there're new updates available I'll try to reproduce the crash by not inserting a passwd and just doing nothing.
