Run nvidia-settings 2. Go to the X Server Display Configuration page 3. Select a monitor in the layout and make any settings change to it using the controls below 4. Click the "Save to X Configuration File" button 5. On the "Save X Configuration" popup, click Save6 6. The polkit auth prompt will pop up. Authenticated Expected / working: It works -- the xorg.conf file you specified is saved and you return to the nvidia-settings window without incident Actual / failing: It errors with "Unable to open X config file '{file you specified}' for writing.' [ Fix ] Set nvidia-polkit's mode to executable [ Where problems could occur ] Unlikely to cause a regression unless there is some caller that depends on nvidia-polkit *not* being executable [ Original bug report from rakslice ] I'm running version 0.18.3 of the package in 24.04 (noble). The package does not set nvidia-polkit executable, so the nvidia-settings app fails to save xorg.conf changes with a misleading error message. Clearly it is a python script, and simply setting it executable fixes the problem: sudo chmod +x /usr/share/screen-resolution-extra/nvidia-polkit To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/screen-resolution-extra/+bug/2090974/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~debcrafters-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~debcrafters-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
