Description Raphael Groner 2015-05-10 14:38:02 UTC
Created attachment 1023995 [details]
There's no path given in /etc/xdg/autostart/lxqt-policykit-agent.desktop, so the agent can not be found, it's installed to /usr/libexec and this path should be put inside the desktop file.

Description of problem:
Policykit agent does not start automatically, so it can not give a graphical login dialog.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
lxqt-common-0.9.1-3.fc21.noarch

How reproducible:
yes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. login to LXQt session
2. start a graphical application that needs root access, e.g. yumex-dnf
3.

Actual results:
Application fails to get root access.

Expected results:
Application can get root access via a password dialog.

Additional info:
$ pkexec --disable-internal-agent ls /
→ Error executing command as another user: No authentication agent found.
$ pkexec ls /
→ gives a login prompt inside the terminal
Workaround: Works if /usr/libexec/lxqt-policykit-agent is started manually.

Comment 1 Jan Kurik 2015-07-15 14:10:40 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle.
Changing version to '23'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Comment 7 Raphael Groner 2015-11-07 01:58:47 UTC
This bug is not fixed with LXQt 0.10 packages. Please keep this bug open.

Comment 8 Gerald Cox 2015-11-24 18:04:36 UTC
*** Bug 1284318 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 9 Gerald Cox 2015-11-24 18:12:29 UTC
Changing from rawhide to F23.  Also changing priority since this is affecting other applications:  see rhbz#1284318

This also shouldn't be an "enhancement" since the fallout is breaking things.  It's a bug.

Comment 10 Raphael Groner 2015-11-24 20:36:07 UTC
Comment on attachment 1023995 [details]
There's no path given in /etc/xdg/autostart/lxqt-policykit-agent.desktop, so the agent can not be found, it's installed to /usr/libexec and this path should be put inside the desktop file.

Please see the attachment for an easy fix to use the absolute path cause lxqt-policykit-agent is not found with the default execution path.

I have lxqt-common-0.10.0-1.fc23 and that is the version that had the issue.  I saw where there is lxqt-common-0.10.0-2.fc23 but it didn't complete successfully on koji:  http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=19423

ping? Helio, thought you've fixed that in git?

Comment 16 Raphael Groner 2015-12-20 18:29:52 UTC
Now, I'm confused. Is this fixed or not?

 - Missing proper path on policykit .desktop file. This causes the daemon not starts
