[SOLVED] Lastest Blueman upgrade and dialogue boxes

kgha · 08-03-2018, 05:18 AM

After upgrading Blueman (-2.0.6, -current, Aug. 01), dialogue boxes pops up, asking for the root password to confirm network privilegies. Confirmation gives a key icon in the systray.
What annoys me is that these dialogue boxes pops up after every reboot or logout/login.
How do I make the confirmation persistent? Or can I get rid of this in some other way?

EDIT: found this solution that did the trick: https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...nt-4175626708/

That's a nice find, thanks. Instead of "wheel", I'd probably use "netdev" or "plugdev" to for AC via polkit:

Code:

/* /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/xx-blueman.rules (figure out what xx is later) */
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
    if (action.id.indexOf("org.blueman.") == 0 &&
        subject.isInGroup("netdev")) {
        return polkit.Result.YES;
    }
});

Futher polkit stuff may be found in https://github.com/blueman-project/b...wiki/PolicyKit
