Bug Description
The /usr/share/
Running 'pkexec gnome-system-log' from gnome-terminal prompts the user for authentication to get sudo privileges, so it appears likely that either unity tries to run the command and it fails, or runs it but doesn't display the authentication window.

using unity from staging ppa + everything upto date I am unable to reproduce the issue that you described. Can you record a video to show the problem that you are facing.
