There was a problem hiding this comment.
This was my best guess at how to handle this. I wasn't sure if it belonged here or in main.js
|
Fedora already switched to internal polkit agent also for xorg, probably @leigh123linux can tell you how it's going and if he has encountered any problems |
|
No one has complained yet about the switch to internal polkit, 6.2.x was promoted to F40 stable the other day. |
|
If that's the case, then maybe this is closer to prime time than I thought :) |
|
This probably shouldn't be merged currently. Part of the reason we don't use this dialog is because it doesn't support multiple users yet. It's something I'm looking at adding this development cycle. Maybe should revisit the idea then. |

This simplifies packaging since we don't need to worry if an external polkit agent is needed. This is currently a draft since I understand upstream may not be ready for this change yet. But I'm creating this now so I can reference it in Gentoo packaging.
Also, don't crash if the agent doesn't start properly. If another agent happens to be running, this will throw a DBus exception. I figured popping a notification would be most appropriate, since the user may have another agent configured to auto-start.
