I am trying to run a command that appears to need super-user privileges. When it tries to run, I get: ------- ==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.policykit.exec === Authentication is needed to run `/tmp/hda-jack-retask-0TDDG0/script.sh' as the super user Authenticating as: D. R. Evans,,, (n7dr) Password: polkit-agent-helper-1: error response to PolicyKit daemon: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: No session for cookie ==== AUTHENTICATION FAILED === Error executing command as another user: Not authorized This incident has been reported. ------- I have tried entering my password, and also entering the super-user password (as the wording is rather ambiguous, although most likely it seems to be wanting the password of the regular user). In both cases, I get the AUTHENTICATION FAILED message and am unable to proceed. I have no idea why this is happening, nor how to fix it. Any assistance would be gratefully received.
