if you can fix this problem with lxde "Error initializing authority: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1: GDBus.Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildSignaled: Process org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1 received signal 11". You can not log out or reset normally. So lxde works. At least for one desktop. Mate does not run any problem with the policy at all. I will make a donation payment. please ha ha

Hi Radek,

are you using any configs for PolicyKit?

If not this would be one way of quickly fixing the problem.

If you are using some custom policykit config please attach it here, so we could help you more.

this file /usr/local/etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf.sample includes this part:

<match user="root">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>

copy the file to /usr/local/etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf

and add your username to the config.

<match user="root|radek">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>

This would be a very basic config.

Please read this FAQ for more details:
https://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/halfaq.html

and PolicyKit man pages:
