- Consolekit: unable to lookup session / uid=0 on Cent6.5guest to Vbox

New to linux but trying!

Cento6.5-guest on VBox4.3.22 vminfo error: Consolekit: unable to lookup ...
(on startup) session1 ; but after login unable to lookup user name for uid=0 / or uid=500.
Error message repeats every few seconds.

PIAF server Purple but with GDM X-org
have access ok but with these errors going on in the terminal view.

Can somebody point out how to stop these and sort out the session info / user name problem; or should I uninstall X and try again?

Thanks Oz

Same problem was here. CentOS 6.5 as guest on win7 and Vbox4.3.22
I've downgraded Vbox to 4.3.12 and re-install the additions and now is ok.

Thanks for reply lachev
since you mention it wasn't a problem in VB 4.3.20 before I uninstalled vb4.3.20 and installed 4.3.22
in view of this I have dropped a post with vb log at https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=66211
