Fedora 12 should was planned to have installation of packages without users needing to enter root password. How do I enable this feature via
Is this a question for developers list if nobody here know how to do that?
This was the default when F12 was released and I reversed it with pklalockdown –lockdown org.freedesktop.packagekit.package-install so you can probably re-enable it with pklalockdown something
I even found this article: http://skvidal.wordpress.com/2009/11/18/polkit-and-package-kit-and-changing-... But it didn't help :(
Thanks for the link. So the method that I posted is no longer valid according to DavidZ (who seems to be one of the polkit developers)...
Did you create /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/10-pkgkit-pkginstall-policy.pkla with [Only Let Admins Install Packages] Identity=unix-user:* Action=org.freedesktop.packagekit.package-install ResultAny=no ResultInactive=no ResultActive=yes
This looks to me like the right invocation.
If the above does not work, you might want to create 10-pkgkit-pkginstall-policy.pkla in /etc/polkit-1/90-mandatory.d to ensure that it is not over-ridden by another polkit policy (or whatever these things are called)
