Bug#1109686: task-xfce-desktop: Synaptic Package Manager Doesn't Launch from XFCE Desktop Selection - Missing lxpolkit
Package: task-xfce-desktop
Version: 3.81
Severity: minor
X-Debbugs-Cc: tdrusk@gmail.com
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation? I installed XFCE from the installer.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)? I attempted to launch synaptic package manager.
* What was the outcome of this action? It did not launch
* What outcome did you expect instead? I expected to be prompted for my sudo credentials. To fix the issue I installed lxpolkit and added it to the session/startup area of xfce. However, upon further thought, this may have been able to be enabled by going to this same area and just checking the box for polkit-ukui-authentication-agent-1. Why isn't this enabled by default?
