Description of problem: Selecting the firewall menu item in Preferences results in an error Authorization Failed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.6.2-1.fc29 How reproducible: Select the Firewall menu item in Preferences Steps to Reproduce: 1.Click "f" to open menu 2.select Preferences 3.select firewall Actual results: Error Authorization Failed Expected results: Elevated authorization prompt --> ability to manage the firewall config. Additional info: Adding the following to the firewall-config.desktop file in /usr/share/applications/ serves as a workaround if not fix: change "Exec=/usr/bin/firewall-config" to "Exec=lxqt-sudo /usr/bin/firewall-config"
Thanks for the report. The LXQt SIG can't modify firewall-config.desktop because it's part of firewalld, a general system package. First, we need to know if the maintainers of firewalld (or system-config-firewalld as an alternative) can support LXQt with its menu, maybe it's just a missing if statement or the like in the start script. Reassigning.
Actually this is caused by lxqt-policykit. A fix is coming soon.
