There doesn't seem to be an authorization management interface for kde
Last modified: 2011-06-27 11:53:57 EDT
Description of problem: There is no authorization interface for KDE. This means that I edit the authorizations using the GUI, which is much simpler and nicer than editing the text file. The GUI used to be in previous versions of Fedora. The agent works fine Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): polkit-kde 0.95 How reproducible: N/A Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Sorry there is a small typo. I mean I *CANNOT* edit the authorizations using the GUI
There's indeed no Polkit 1 authorization management GUI. Polkit upstream decided it's not necessary and they don't want it/support it. But we're (and mostly Dario Freddi - KDE upstream) currently working on KDE GUI right now - unfortunately it's not finished yet. I hope we'll finish/package it asap.
Yes, as Jaroslav is saying, this is being worked on upstream. It's really a RFE, not a bug. There has never been an authorization editor for PolicyKit 1 (not even a GNOME one).
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
