Hi all,
Normally a polkit action file on a non-NixOS system would be installed
in /usr/share/polkit-1/actions. On NixOS this location is instead at
/run/current-system/sw/share/polkit-1/actions. The action files stored
here are recognised by polkit, which can be demonstrated by running
`pkaction`, this results in showing the titles of each action id.
However some packages may supply action files, and are installed via
nix-env. The action files in this case are instead stored in
~/.nix-profile/share/polkit-1/actions. My tests show that these action
files are not being recognised by polkit. Running pkaction does not show
any package the action files that are inside ~/.nix-profile/...
Is there a work around here?
Browsing the polkit docs doesn't mention anything about looking up
user-specific action files, they all just say action files are to be at
/usr/share/polkit-1/actions. If polkit only looks up 1 location, then
should nix-env be symlinking action files into
/run/current/system/sw/share/polkit-1/actions?
Thanks,
Roger
