Packagekit "failed to get a TID:" - rendered unusable

[nightfrost]

After the latest batch of updates today, I can no longer use PackageKit. Whatever I attempt to do (search, install, etc.), results in this error message. Any help appreciated!

failed to get a TID: A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.PackageKit.Transaction" member "SetLocale" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.PackageKit") (0)

I've found another "failed to get a TID:"-post in the forums. However, the solution posted in that thread, namely to killall packagekitd, didn't help here...

I've also got this same problem, starting this morning with the dbus updates to 1.2.6-1

I've searched the forums but the list of posts with failed to get a TID does not reveal anything that helps to fix it.

I'd appreciate a steer to what to do please. Killing packagekitd does not help, and two reboots and changes of booted kernel don't help either. Seems to be more than just a simple fix to me.

I am having the same problem as you and no clues to solve it for now.

Same problem here. Run a search of the forum but nothing seems to solve the problem.

Either something is wrong with the search engine at the forums, or this is a different problem :-)

Same problem. I have just installed this morning from Net Install so updates have been installed automatically.

[Razr331]

Same problem, just want to install a RPM. But since i installed some updates i get that error message.

[Jeromerg]

Same Problem: I updated 1 hour ago and then was unable to install new RPMs nor start again the update process.

I just wonder why the update is on Sunday

[mariusmeyer]

Yes, this problem just came in for me as well, it's got to have something to do with all the updates to the packages that just arrived, gnome, dbus etc. I checked with yum though, and it still works installing things from there, it knows about the repos even though none show up in the program "Repositories" under System->Administration. Any repo admins around who knows anything about this yet? Thanks for any help =)

I think there might be a problem here with hal. I've noticed a bunch of my Fn-keys stopped working as well, and /usr/share/hal/fdi/* was empty...

[GezaBlade]

same thing for me, and will be after everyone updates today...... so a fix would be awesome.

Same here with a fresh installation of Fedora 9. Below is output of "yum install gvim"...

Maybe I'm replying to the wrong thread but this one seems to be the closest to what I am experiencing.

If this is a different problem please let me know as I'll gladly make a new post.

EDIT: This seemed to be a security issue so I disable selinux using the System>Administration>SELinux Management" dialog. So this output is _after disabling SELinux and rebooting so that setting took affect.
