[Solved] What packages invoke polkit service?

super_trash · 2018-09-22 16:23:30

I see a lot of /usr/lib/polkit-1/polkitd --no-debug process running in my system, because I don't know why and what software invoke it, I don't feel quite happy seeing it in my system.

So is there any way to check what kind of packages invoke polkit.service?, I guess that probably after install Xorg, polkit service start appearing.

I also suspect pulseaudio package invoke polkit.

Your desktop environment will invoke a polkit daemon for authentication/permission purposes: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Po … ion_agents

Maybe laziness , I'm doing many tests to setup my environment and many question had raised. Probably I'll try to disable pulseaudio and do a reboot and see what'll happen.

Okie, I did a quick check on /packages and required by of polkit and I've noticed 'rtkit' that also running in my system, suspiciously I check 'rtkit' package and it require by 'pulseaudio' . so so we got it.

Adding a cutesy emoji doesn't make that acceptable. As noted in your other thread, you are on a collision course with the end of your welcome on these forums. Change your behavior or don't be surprised if you find you are no longer able to post here.
