Re: Bug#1090384: xfce4: desktop environment metapackage should provide a polkit agent
Hello
I install a amd64 machine with the Trixie installer yesterday. In the process I
check the Xfce checkbox and leave the Gnome one. Then I end with a Xfce
desktop.
The Desktop is working fine, all apps but the synaptic menu entry, that not
opens at all. I check for the policykit packages installed, and I realize that
polkitd is started at boot, but there is not another policykit authentication
agent runing. Check the packages installed and see that I had installed
ukui-polkit!! And in the Xfce control center, in the session section there
is'nt a checkbox for start ukui-polkit in the boot...
So, as is stated in this bug report by Simon McVittie, I end on install
mate-polkit and uninstall ukui-polkit. Reboot and now I have mate-polkit runing
on boot, and synaptic app opens from the menu as expected. There is not need
for make anything for it.
So, yes, I think that Xfce desktop package must be a depend on mate-polkit for
be released as stable with Trixie. Mybe this bug report must be a critical one?
Many thanks for all your work and excuse my poor english. Greetings. Martintxo.
