First login with the CLI,
press ctrl+alt+f1 or f2 then login with your user then try below steps,
found this bug here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1149893

Specifically you have to place .rule file here,
/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/

(add a filename and just give the .rules extension)
give below  rules:
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
   if ((action.id == "org.freedesktop.color-manager.create-device" ||
        action.id == "org.freedesktop.color-manager.create-profile" ||
        action.id == "org.freedesktop.color-manager.delete-device" ||
        action.id == "org.freedesktop.color-manager.delete-profile" ||
        action.id == "org.freedesktop.color-manager.modify-device" ||
        action.id == "org.freedesktop.color-manager.modify-profile") &&
       subject.isInGroup("username")) {
      return polkit.Result.YES;
   }
});

Then you have to Replace the word "username" with your user's group.
