Trisquel 11 - Polkit Issue
- Inicie sesión o regístrese para enviar comentarios
An issue that I have found with Trisquel 11 is that certain programs called up from the applications menu, which I am using whiskermenu in XFCE, will not load. Upon looking it would seem that the Polkit service does not have privileges to run these programs.
I have gotten around this by changing the desktop file under /usr/share/applications to use sudo in a command line to open the program. This brings up a terminal window asking for a password which is satisfactory to me.
I tried submitting an issue for this in the GitLab, but it asks for a username and password and there is no way, that I can see, as to how to register one. The username and password for this website does not work.
I also tried creating a gitlab username and password, but that one does not work either.
Thanks,

About gitlab, I guess this should be more present on the wiki:

Thanks for trying to submit and bringing this subject up.

Hey all,
I have solved the polkit problem.
One has just to go to XFCE Settings -> Session and Startup -> Application Autostart
Then find "PolicyKit Authentication Agent (PolicyKit Authentication Agent for the MATE Desktop)
And make sure there is a check on it so that it starts at boot.
Voila, polkit works again in XFCE.
