Description of problem: Maybe i'm doing something wrong, but when i'm trying to change policy using polkit-gnome-authorization, lets say grant some user option to shutdown system (or whatever else), i got OK key grayed, it's not possible to click it to apply changes (p-g-a launched from root account). Only one i'm allowed to, is to click Cancel. The same when trying to edit Implicit Authorizations. Modify button is grayed in KDE, in gnome it's not grayed, but clicking it just do nothing. When launching p-g-a i get only lot of warnings like: [WARN 26742] kit-hash.c:294:kit_hash_lookup(): key != NULL Not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace [WARN 26742] kit-hash.c:206:kit_hash_insert(): key != NULL Not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): PolicyKit-gnome-0.7-3.fc9.i386 How reproducible: Always
Why are you launching p-g-a as root? That won't work. It will work however if you're launching it as a normal user.
Yes, you're right - it's working for normal user :) But I think that it was quite logic that i wanted to launch it with su - c '' - i wanted to modify system settings and i needed root privileges for that. So i didn't even check how it will work from normal user and launched it directly from root account. Especially when all other actions to change system settings in fedora are working in that way - from root you could do (i think) every modification, every time. So this behavior is quite surprised and new for me. But thanks for the tip - problem solved so i'm closing ticket.
