Solved-warning: directory permissions on /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/

leosanvieira · 2016-10-12 13:21:11

Hi,

After today's update that included gnome 3.22 and gupnp-av 0.12.9-1, i met the warning below:

[ALPM] upgraded gupnp-av (0.12.8-1 -> 0.12.9-1)
[ALPM] warning: directory permissions differ on /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/
filesystem: 750 package: 755

Should i change the directory permissions manually or just ignore it ?

I received the same warning. I then did a sudo chmod 755 /usr/share/poolkit-1/rules.d, rebooted and was unable to enter my password in LightDM. In order to be able to login I disabled LightDM and enabled SDDM.

I echo the post of cribari. I'm running Antergos, but (to no surprise) I got the same permission warning, fixed it and could no longer log in via lightdm-webkit2-greeter. Turned off lightdm and ran startx (after setting up .xinitrc) instead. Everything works fine. I'll test setting the permissions back to see if that helps. I should add that my USB mouse and touchpad worked fine, just couldn't type (USB keyboard or built-in keyboard). I'm on a 2015 Macbook.

**Update** Reverting permissions to 750 didn't help at all.

I also ran into the same thing on antergos. Mouse interaction works fine, but lightdm doesn't respond to any keyboard input. It's not just the password field. If I wait for a while, about 5-10 minutes, then it responds like it should. TTY switching etc works fine.

Going on the consensus in here, this is an Antegros not an Arch issue: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … pport_ONLY

Mod note: Restoring to pacman/upgrade issues on appeal, as OP says he is not using Antergos.

As gupnp-av doesn't contain the directory in question, this package shouldn't have caused the warning message. Please post your pacman.log, as well as the output of

pacman -Qo /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/

WorMzy, thanks for answering.

You're right, i misinterpreted the log when i thought the warning's origin was gupnp-av upgrade when it was obviously not, i have the whole transaction log if you want but it's 140 lines long, so i posted what i think is relevant by proximity. Please, tell me a way to send the whole log if you deem necessary.

pacman -Qo /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/
/usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/ belongs to gnome-control-center 3.22.1-1
/usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/ belongs to gvfs 1.30.1-2
/usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/ belongs to packagekit 1.1.4-1
/usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/ belongs to polkit 0.113-4

I download gvfs package manually to check on it's rules.d directory permission, not different as you can see:

ls -ld gvfs-1.30.1-2-x86_64.pkg/usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/
drwxr-x--- 2 xxx xxx 4096 out 12 13:39 gvfs-1.30.1-2-x86_64.pkg/usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/
ls -ld /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/
drwxr-x--- 2 root polkitd 4096 out 12 15:53 /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/

That is not the same version of the package that gave you the warning...

WorMzy · 2016-10-14 13:45:55

The transaction just alerted you to an existing permissions discrepancy, it didn't cause it. We need the full pacman.log to try and understand how the discrepancy came to be. Please use a pastebin to upload the full file.

apg · 2016-10-14 13:53:42

No need for the log; the previous version of that package just had different permissions for that directory. 1.30.1-2 changed it back to 750.

leosanvieira · 2016-10-14 13:58:27

Yes, apg is right. I downloaded the correct version of the package from the archive and:

ls -ld gvfs-1.30.1-1-x86_64.pkg/usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/
drwxr-xr-x 2 xxx xxx 4096 out 10 12:30 gvfs-1.30.1-1-x86_64.pkg/usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/

So it was the package after all and it has already been corrected.

Solved, i'd say.

Thanks.
