Package: policykit-1
Version: 0.105-21
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
thunar won't open via pkexec. I get:
"pkexec thunar %f
==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.xfce.thunar ===
Authentication is required to run Thunar as root.
Authenticating as: root
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."
-----------------------------------------
After executing "pkexec thunar %f" I see in /var/log/auth.log I see:
