[opensuse-kde] PolikcyKit permission problem
Hi, Running oS11.4, the permission settings in System settings / Actions policy are ignored, leading to error messages such as "System policies prevent you from getting the brightness level" in a dialog box asking for root's password every time the screensaver stops, and similar error messages when attempting to mount removable media. Has anyone else seen this? Any hints to fix this are welcome.

How did you change the settings in Actions Policy? The changes aren't saved for me. Every time I change, leave the Actions Policy module, then come back the settings have reverted. -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

http://doc.opensuse.org/products/opensuse/openSUSE/opensuse-security/cha.sec... : ----------- 9.3. Modifying and Setting Privileges¶ To modify implicit privileges or to set explicit ones, you can either use the graphical System Policies tool available in the Advanced tab of the KDE System Settings, use the command line tools shipped with PolicyKit, or modify the configuration files. While the GUI and the command line tools are a good solution for making temporary changes, editing the configuration files should be the preferred way to make permanent changes. ----------- -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

I haven't changed them; it's the defaults that are being ignored.

Running /sbin/set_polkit_default_privs resets the defaults... Regards, Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
