message in terminal

Hi,

I do first install with minimal (no desktop, no software) only system + X
When i come on X desktop, i can't open MCC with the mouse.

I open terminal, write darkconfig and he say me :

"can open only in Root"

But i don't understand why he don't ask me the password when i click ?.

So for resume, MCC can open only with terminal as root. All links in menu don't run.


Thank you

"All links in menu don't run." what does that mean ?

btw is a polkit package are something like that ? 

(we changed the authentication way which was previously consolekit)

Comment 4 Colin Guthrie 2013-09-28 17:53:43 CEST 
Is the package "polkit" installed? 

(FWIW, the previous system was usermode consolehelper, not consolekit :) - that said, I may very well have accidentally referred to consolekit at some point in commit messages :D)
Comment 5 Thierry Vignaud 2013-09-28 23:18:26 CEST 
I'm pretty sure it's installed:
$ rpm -e polkit --test 2>&1|grep -i drak|sort
        polkit is needed by (installed) drakconf-12.42-1.mga4.noarch
        polkit is needed by (installed) drakx-kbd-mouse-x11-0.110-4.mga4.x86_64
        polkit is needed by (installed) drakxtools-15.65-1.mga4.x86_64
        polkit is needed by (installed) drakxtools-curses-15.65-1.mga4.x86_64
        polkit is needed by (installed) rpmdrake-5.50-1.mga4.noarch
Comment 6 Colin Guthrie 2013-09-29 12:55:36 CEST 
Good point :)

I guess there is no polkit authentication agent listening on dbus. Probably requires something kind of xinit.d script for non-DE environments.
Comment 7 Colin Guthrie 2013-09-30 19:57:38 CEST 
Arnaud, can I ask what your minimal desktop comprised? e.g. was it gnome, lxde, kde etc.?

I tried a minimal install + X but it didn't do much by itself (X just exited as there was no window manager).

I'd like to replicate the problem but until I have some kind of desktop similar to yours I can't really do that.

If you could detail the steps taken in the installer - i.e. package selection - that would be good.

Thanks.

He uses icewm as see in screenshot and the bug is about https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12015 . Closing as duplicate.
