Description of problem: Running lshw-gui from the menu I get the following from journalctl -f lshw.desktop[2223]: Refusing to render service to dead parents. and I do not get the authentication dialog. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): lshw-gui-B.02.18-3.fc24.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: After little duckduckgoing I found this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/641593/pkexec-command-in-a-desktop-file After comparing /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.ezix.lshw.gui.policy and /usr/bin/lshw-gui, I made a guess (I do not understand this stuff) that the contents of /usr/bin/lshw-gui should be: #! /bin/bash /usr/bin/pkexec /usr/sbin/gtk-lshw rather than: #! /bin/bash exec /usr/bin/pkexec /usr/sbin/gtk-lshw and it now seems to work.
Seems to work both ways for me, however I will add your fix, thanks!
