[SOLVED] Display Manager: Not invoking polkit

Coming over from my previous topic on this issue ( https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 3#p2086833 ), I finally managed to sort my problem out, but now I'm facing a somewhat related issue where the polkit agent (in my case, lxsession) isn't being invoked when logging in from my display manager (SDDM). Normally, when I do this manually from the tty and enter

startx

, the polkit agent loads and all is good, but now that I'm logging in from the display manager, it just isn't happening.

Any ideas?

Re: [SOLVED] Display Manager: Not invoking polkit

I actually solved this problem on my own, but, what you need to do is make a file called .xprofile and then put your programs into it for it to autostart them.

In my case, this was

lxsession &

to start the polkit agent.

I had no idea that you needed a completely different x file for a window manager.
