I updated my system from 14.1.2 to 14.1.3. I no longer could launch
tools as root using pkexec. Testing in the command line indicates some
kind of polkit issue. Found some related discussion on the web but as
usual, little help.
I tested the same in KDE and had no problems.
I noticed in KDE there is a polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1 process
running. No such process in TDE, but I don't recall anything like that
in previous versions of TDE. Kind of implies something in 14.1.3 changed
to expect a polkit agent.
On a whim I created a $TDEHOME/Autostart desktop file to launch the KDE
polkit agent. I then could again launch tools as root with pkexec.
I am going to presume I missed the memo somewhere. Did something related
change in 14.1.3? The wiki seemed to imply there now is a TDE polkit
agent but there is no such package here.
Thanks.
