[Bug 1302840] [NEW] Upgrade in 14.04 causes admin user to not be recognized

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Update manager offered a partial upgrade, including Kernel 3.13.0.22.26
and removal of packages related to UbuntuOne. After starting the
upgrade, update manager showed a dialog stating "You don't have
permission to perform this action." The upgrade continued after clearing
the dialog.

Following the upgrade, the GUI system does not recognize the admin use
as an admin. Sudo commands still work in the terminal, but any GUI
function requiring user authentication fails or will not open.

For example: shutting down produces the log out dialog; User Accounts
shows "You don't have permission to perform this action." when trying to
unlock; Synaptic will not open at all.

Rebooting with the older kernels did not change anything.
