Unable to authorize polkit agent (OpenRC)
Hi, I am using Parabola GNU/Linux (based on Arch), with OpenRC and the Mate desktop environment. I have the polkit
and mate-polkit
packages installed; however, the mate polkit agent is not autostarting on login and if I try to run it from the terminal, I get the following error:
(polkit-mate-authentication-agent-1:24207): dbind-WARNING **: 07:13:53.904: Couldn't register with
accessibility bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did
not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or
the network connection was broken.
Cannot register authentication agent: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: Cannot
determine user of subject
I also get a very similar error if I try to run the Gnome polkit agent. I have verified that dbus is installed and running; however, the agents do not seem to be able to authenticate. This is causing problems for graphical programs that need polkit.
Any ideas what might be causing this?
