https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=226212 Bug ID: 226212 Summary: Not allowed to make system changes in KDE Product: Base System Version: 11.1-RELEASE Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: misc Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: slava@planetslav.ca Created attachment 191009 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=191009&action=edit Can't change time/timezone Hello, I'm running KDE Plasma desktop 5.12.1 from Area51 on Freebsd 11.1. Everything works great and is stable, however I'm not able to make changes to some system settings which should normally prompt for the root password when required. On Freebsd I'm just not being allowed to change them an shown a message "You are not allowed to save the configuration" (see attached screenshots). Even if I make changes, the OK button remains greyed out, so I can't apply them. >From some searching, it appears that to make system changes from the UI, polkit is required; I confirmed all the polkit packages for KDE are installed. I'm not sure if extra configuration is required, I haven't had this issue on numerous Linux systems I've used with Plasma desktop and have never had to work with polkit directly. I've found this error in the .local/share/sddm/xorg-session.log (this is not directly related to sddm, the same problem exists if launching startkde from cli without sddm): ** (process:983): CRITICAL **: polkit_agent_listener_register_with_options: assertion 'POLKIT_IS_SUBJECT (subject)' failed "Cannot register authentication agent!" Authentication agent result: false Couldn't register listener! P.S. [ade] from #kde-freebsd sent me -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
