Thanks David.
I can't run this agent successfully with following info:
(polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:962): polkit-gnome-1-WARNING **:
Unable to determine the session we are in : Remote Exception invoking
org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.GetSessionForUnixProcess() on
/org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager at name org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit:
org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.GeneralError:unable to lookup session
information for process 962.
I have a question, from the man page of polkit, do we need agent running to
determine authorization? I'm running moblin with a very special way to startup
desktop
I just run polkitd in root bash and as I inserted a usb disk, it has following
info:
[r...@localhost ~]# /usr/libexec/polkit-1/polkitd
Registering null backend at priority -10
