I run system-config-printer as root, and it either hangs forever or tells me I'm not authorized when I want to do something like change printer default options.
I run system-config-printer as normal user and it asks me to give the root password every few seconds (for example, try deleting a printer, then clicking on New to reinstall it from scratch). Do I have to not only be root but also tell PolicyKit that root is allowed root access? Is there a global way to cram that down PolicyKit's throat? Or does this have nothing to do with PolicyKit and system-config-printer is merely the most annoying app ever written when it comes to asking for root auth? Or perhaps there are another dozen gnome background clutter daemons I have to run for apps to remember I know the root password? -- fedora-list mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
