#68 Unable to start livesint on Rawhide and Fedora 39 images
Opened by odilhao. Modified

Close Issue

With this change on anaconda screensaver: Look at $PKEXEC_UID not $USERHELPER_UID , liveinst broken on Rawhide and F39 beta, we need to define one polkit-agent on startup of our image to make liveinst work.

For now the easiest solution was to add the following to fedora-live-i3.ks : 

cat > /etc/xdg/autostart/xfce-polkit.desktop <<EOF
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=xfce-polkit
Exec=/usr/libexec/xfce-polkit
EOF

THis is a release block @defolos @x3mboy

I'm testing.

The first thing I notice is that it has 3 dependencies:

But they look to be covered on the spin:

My question is why polkitd is not catching this:

After installing xfce-polkit you can just call /usr/libexec/xfce-polkit in the terminal and it should work.

Created https://pagure.io/fedora-kickstarts/pull-request/988 for main/rawhide and https://pagure.io/fedora-kickstarts/pull-request/989 for Fedora 39

We also have a tracking BZ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2240823

Can someone please make sure this gets added to the i3 file for livesys-scripts so it can be removed from the kickstart?
