I don't recall having tweaked any setting to have "udiskctl mount" working without password in the same exact situation, but whatever happened, after the upgrade from Debian 10 to 11, it no longer worked.

While there are quite a few examples of how to set up the correct "polkit" rule for it around, most of them refer to a newer version of polkit that uses a different syntax. Debian's pkaction version is still 1.105. And apparently the file needs to be in the correct...

Here is how you can enable ‘sudo’ in Fedora so that you don’t have to login as root everytime you need to run a command as root. Open up terminal and type in the following:

Code:

root    ALL=(ALL)	ALL

How to generate password

Posted 02-21-2009 at 08:56 AM by ErV

Tags generate, howto, password, security

Generating password is simple:

password8.sh:
[code]
#!/bin/sh
cat /dev/urandom| tr -dc '0-9a-zA-Z!@#$%^&*_+-'|head -c 8;echo
[/code]
This script generates 8 characters long password.
To change number of characters, replace 8 with other number.
'0-9a-zA-Z!@#$%^&*_+-' defines character set used in password. If you need another charset, change this string to suit your needs.
