Source: live-config
Version: 11.0.3+nmu1
Severity: normal

To reproduce:

* Boot debian-live-12.0.0-amd64-gnome.iso (the version used for
  release-day testing)
  - KDE has a similar issue with slightly different steps to start the
    installer, probably all desktops' variants are affected

* Wait for a GNOME desktop

* Click next/skip until gnome-initial-setup goes away

* Press Windows key to go to Overview, and click on "Install Debian"
  (Calamares) icon in the dash

Expected result: Calamares installer starts

Actual result: I get a polkit prompt as follows:

    Authentication Required

    Authentication is required to run the installation program

      (logo here)
    Debian Live user

    [Password__________________]

    [ Cancel ] [ Authenticate]

Workaround: enter the password, which is "live". The installer starts.

If this is not the intended behaviour, the solution would be:

- drop a file similar to /usr/share/doc/polkitd/examples/50-local-allow.rules
  into /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d (if it's owned by a .deb) or into
  /etc/polkit-1/rules.d (if it's created on an ad-hoc basis by scripts)

- use that file to configure polkitd to allow whatever action Calamares
  is using, without authentication (polkit.Result.YES), for either the
  live user or all members of the sudo group

- when installing with Calamares, make sure that file is not included in
  the installed system

Please ask the polkitd maintainers if more information is needed.
