Is that possible ?

Thanks

    I used Neon for a while. Again, can you please give the needed information. If the password dialog shows, at the left click on “expand”/“show more” and you see the exact action that is executed.

    Then have a look at the rules in my linked repo, and replace the action in “libvirt” with that, and the group with “wheel”

    (Use groups and send me the output, no idea if the sudo users are in the sudo group on Ubuntu)

    Then send that rule, embed it in

    ``` Rule ```

    To format correctly. I look at it and if it is correct, we go on.

        I have examples in the repo I linked

        polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
  if action.id == "org.freedesktop.packagekit.system-update" {
    if subject.isInGroup("wheel") {
      return polkit.Result.YES;
    }
  }
});

        Please ask KDE Neon devs, if placing this rule as /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/packagekit-update.rules is safe

          I don’t have a rules.d directory at /etc/polkit-1/ though, I only have localauthority and localauthority.conf.d.

          Should I create the directory then create the file ?

          Thanks

            Yes create the directory. This is a standard directory but KDE Neon may not use it. Also you need to place that policy there and reload the polkit daemon (no idea how to do that, just reboot lol).

            And as I said, if the admin password window shows, use the “show details” button at the left to get the ID of the polkit action.

            KDE is a very empowering Desktop!
