I previously just tried this under "su", but I fell into the trap that this looks at allow_inactive, not allow_active. Sorry about that.
I filed an upstream polkit bug to get access to this information, as this is IMHO the only clean way of fixing this. Until then, I suggest to either leave that bug open or always show the "Apply system-wide" buttons as that will at least make the functionality available (but it may not work for non-admins). ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #60103 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60103 ** Also affects: policykit via https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60103 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1008344 Title: checks "admin" group membership instead of querying polkit To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/policykit/+bug/1008344/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
