http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1202189 Bug ID: 1202189 Summary: Polkit pkexec split breaks desktop applications Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: All OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem Assignee: screening-team-bugs@suse.de Reporter: georg.pfuetzenreuter@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Hello, a user in #opensuse reported `gparted` to no longer launch if started without root privileges since the last update of Tumbleweed. Investigation revealed that this is caused by https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/989831 no longer providing `pkexec` by default. I submitted a patch for `gparted` (https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/993466), however I still like to address this bug in a broader scheme. It seems other applications faced the same issue, and got a "Recommends: pkexec" added as a solution, for example Nautilus (https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1202070). But it seems clear that this won't be the only applications facing the issue - other desktop programs utilizing `pkexec` are likely to be affected as well. - Can we trace all affected applications and add the necessary "Recommends: pkexec" to them? - Alternatively, as suggested by the reporter in IRC, would it be feasible to add `pkexec` to one of the desktop patterns?
