For Future Maintenance

after uninstalling gnome-desktop, xfce4-policyagentkit error. I ended up reinstalling Eos, because I had an error in the “failed authentication” application manager, and I couldn’t install polkit even in TTY. Any options to repair this in tty ??

how did you installed gnome-desktop ?

xfce4 does use gnome-polkit but thats in autostart , if you go from Displaymanager to TTY should not affect like sudo pacman …,

but gnome-polkit is depency of xfce4-session that means you also removed that also ,

but how did you removed gnome-desktop ?

to connect what happened…

In auto start was all enabled, pacman -S gnome in terminal. Gnome-polkit missing in etc/xdg/autostart. I deleted gnome with pacman - Rsun . Reinstalled xfce in try, and unlucky. Sudo thunar don’t let me to put gnome -polling again in etc/Xdg/autostart.

mm pacman -Rsun i never used :slight_smile:
try sudo pacman -S polkit-gnome

whas a type mistake btw polkit-gnome :slight_smile:

check in xfce autostart if those are selected to autostart …

if not create a new one that with following :slight_smile:

/usr/lib/polkit-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1

if you type in terminal now :

/usr/lib/polkit-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1

you get some message ?

systemctl status polkit.service
