Which groups is your user in? By default polkit considers only users of the wheel group to be admins and will only allow them to be asked for elevated privileges: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Polkit … identities

Tip1:
It only says when I want to remove an app.On Install it didnt ask me for password.
Tip2:
Polkit works fine in every other apps(ex*pamac*)

https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/discover/ doesn't ship w/ polkit rules to begin with.
Are you trying to remove a pacman or a flatschpak package?

Any package
ANYTHING.

V1del · 2021-08-25 12:36:33

It's packagekit that ships with the relevant rules and it is indeed a default - albeit a questionable one - to allow passwordless installation/upgrades but that doesn't really explain why popping a dialog for removal doesn't work

So @V1del Any solution to fix discover?

seth · 2021-09-20 08:17:45

Can you actually "pkexec ls" and receive a password prompt?

Do you get a similar dialog for discover? If so: for which user credentials does it ask? Is it root and do you provide the root password?

I Installed gnome-keyring or something like that and problem fixed!
Thx guys

That can only be necessary if your polkit auth provider is not kde-polkit what's your output for

ps aux | grep polkit

seth · 2021-09-26 12:33:36

Afaiu the patch packagekit by default does't *interactively* ask for the creds (or anything), so if the opened gnome-keyring now offers them that might sidestep the issue.

Hmm what do u mean?
I am confused.

seth · 2021-09-27 06:44:13

The post was a reply to V1del - and it lacks a comma ;-)
(Trying to reason why gnome-keyring might side-step the issue despite polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1 being available)
