Description of problem: everytime i try to remove or install something that requires a policykit password prompt, gnome software says i don't have the persmission to do the action and i can't continue this while dnf localinstall and remove works flawlessy Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-software 40 How reproducible: open gnome software, unistall something and see the banner for not having the permission to appear or download an rpm, double click on it, then select install (or remove if already installed) to see the same banner Actual results: can't install/remove things Expected results: i would expect to be possible to install or remove an application Additional info: I'm saying gnome software, but it might be related to policykit or some other security component one other things to note is that i deleted my login keyring and seahorse didn' ask me to create a new one on reboot if needed this is the journalctl log for when the notification appear "ago 23 15:04:07 fedora PackageKit[1448]: uid 1000 is trying to obtain org.freedesktop.packagekit.package-remove auth (only_trusted:0) ago 23 15:04:07 fedora PackageKit[1448]: uid 1000 failed to obtain auth"
Thanks for a bug report. This is closely related to the bug #2002609, though I'm afraid the fix from there won't work here, that would need more changes. I'm not sure on which part yet.
ok thank you, i guess you want to have a look on here also... https://ask.fedoraproject.org/t/cant-install-software-with-gnome-software/16186/22
I created a merge request for the gnome-software here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/-/merge_requests/978 which fixes it for me. I'll create an update for Fedora with it included.
I tried to reproduce this with , but I cannot; I am asked for the root/admin credentials when I install/uninstall RPM softare. I can reproduce with the current development version. Could you give a try to this [1] scratch build and report back, pleas? Make sure you restart the gnome-software process, which is running in the background. It can be done for example by running: $ gnome-software --quit && gnome-software The process should not stop immediately, otherwise it passed the execution to the background process. It's possible it'll start working after you restart gnome-software, without installing the test package. I think the proposed fix is fine also for the f34, I only cannot verify it myself.
Err, I'm sorry, the link for the scratch build is: [1] https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=75604262

hello, i will do further tests later, and tomorrow but it seems that the fix, fixed finally my issue, thank you...
Did you have time to look on it, please? The f34 scratch build will be deleted soon.
Yes, i just wanted to wait a little more to see if this was really the fix or just a mere coincidence Anyway after installing and unistalling apps for a day i can tell you this is the solution to my problem Also i sent the patch to another user with the same problem, and says the patch solved his issue too, so i guess that's it Now i'm guessing it should be released as update for f34 also...
