I used Neon for a while. Again, can you please give the needed information. If the password dialog shows, at the left click on “expand”/“show more” and you see the exact action that is executed.
Then have a look at the rules in my linked repo, and replace the action in “libvirt” with that, and the group with “wheel”
(Use groups and send me the output, no idea if the sudo users are in the sudo group on Ubuntu)
Then send that rule, embed it in
```
Rule
```
To format correctly. I look at it and if it is correct, we go on.

You need to create a polkit rule that allows authentication without password. I will see if I can send an example your way sometime this comming week. @KaKi87
Yes create the directory. This is a standard directory but KDE Neon may not use it. Also you need to place that policy there and reload the polkit daemon (no idea how to do that, just reboot lol).
And as I said, if the admin password window shows, use the “show details” button at the left to get the ID of the polkit action.
Sorry I thought that Discover was only used on KDE neon, which thefore is the distro, and the CLI equivalent is indeed the one you mentioned.
So what’s the solution for this distro ?
Thanks

That was only one of the requested info. But I edited the rule.

I have examples in the repo I linked
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) { if action.id == "org.freedesktop.packagekit.system-update" { if subject.isInGroup("wheel") { return polkit.Result.YES; } } });Please ask KDE Neon devs, if placing this rule as
/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/packagekit-update.rulesis safeUnfortunately it’s not working 😅
Thanks
I don’t have a
rules.ddirectory at/etc/polkit-1/though, I only havelocalauthorityandlocalauthority.conf.d.Should I create the directory then create the file ?
Thanks

KDE is a very empowering Desktop!
Unfortunately it’s not working 😅
Thanks
Rule looks fine. Please contact KDE devs on discuss.kde.org
This will be Neon specific, on Fedora this is the directory used for polkit rules.
Please ask KDE Neon devs.
Discuss.kde.org
Or file a bug on bugs.kde.org

Yes.
