Whenever resuming from standby or switching to console and back, user is prompted for password to set brightness level (polkit action org.kde.powerdevil.backlighthelper.setbrightness). Option to "Remember authorization", with or without "for this session only", does not behave as described. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Standby or switch to console, then return 2. Fill in password as requested by polkit, choosing "Remember authorization" 3. Try standby / console again Actual Results: Prompted for password again Expected Results: Authorization is retained Adjusting brightness while KDE is running works fine. Is this an active/inactive console problem? I notice that the default privs are auth_admin:auth_admin:auth_admin (no keep_always, though I tried that and it didn't work either) Workaround is to add to /etc/polkit-default-privs.local org.kde.powerdevil.backlighthelper.brightness yes:yes:yes org.kde.powerdevil.backlighthelper.setbrightness yes:yes:yes and run /sbin/set_polkit_default_privs -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
