[Desktop-packages] [Bug 976638] Re: pkexec does not find any authentication agent
Found the answer - I needed to install lxsession-edit, and that gives me the "Policykit Authentication Agent" tickbox. Now all is well. One oddity though: on a fresh install of Lubuntu 18.04, everything works as expected - yet the Policykit Authentication Agent box is unchecked...

This looks like the problem I have in Lubuntu 18.04 (but only in systems upgraded from 16.04 - new installs seem fine). But I can't find the magic "Policykit Authentication Agent" tickbox in Lubuntu: where is it hiding? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to policykit-1 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/976638 Title: pkexec does not find any authentication agent Status in PolicyKit: Unknown Status in policykit-1 package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I am using xubuntu, but I am pretty sure that other variants are affected too.
