Nothing happens It is possible to start MCC from the konsole - it asks root password and MCC starts correctly. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
This means that a polkit agent isn't running. KDE4 has one, I'm not sure what the status is in Plasma 5.

It seems that for kf5 polkit-qt-1 is used: From: https://community.kde.org/Frameworks/Building/Details "To build polkit-qt-1 $ git clone git://anongit.kde.org/polkit-qt-1.git $ mkdir polkit-qt-1/build $ cd polkit-qt-1/build $ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KF5 -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$KF5 .. $ make $ make install" In Mageia there is polkit-qt-1-devel package and several polkit-qt-1 associated libraries, but package polkit-qt-1 itselt is missing...
(In reply to Jüri Ivask from comment #2) > ...but package polkit-qt-1 itselt is missing... My mistake - polkit-qt-1 indeed contains only libraries and a dev package...
But the kf5-polkit-kde-agent is existing: git://anongit.kde.org/polkit-kde-agent-1.git#branch=frameworks
polkit-kde-agent-1 can also be used by adding .desktop file to /etc/xdg/autostart (or ~/.config/autostart) [Desktop Entry] Name=PolicyKit Authentication Agent Exec=/usr/lib64/kde4/libexec/polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1 Icon=exec Terminal=false Type=Application Categories= OnlyShowIn=KDE; X-KDE-StartupNotify=false X-KDE-autostart-phase=0 NoDisplay=true X-DBUS-StartupType=Unique For some reason polkit-kde-agent-1 does not have equivalent file while mate-polkit provides â/etc/xdg/autostart/polkit-mate-authentication-agent-1.desktop file. With OnlyShowIn=MATE;XFCE;OPENBOX;Old; But using kf5 version with plasma 5 desktop would be better.

With > OnlyShowIn=MATE;XFCE;OPENBOX;Old; Editing the last line to: OnlyShowIn=MATE;XFCE;OPENBOX;KDE;Old; seems to make mate-polkit-agent to work in Plasma 5. Now it is possible to edit connections in plasma5-applet-nm :)
I can to reproduce this problem too.

Plasma 5.2 have polkit-kde so we could solve this problem already but plasma 5.2 newer build to cauldron and now it's too late to include it in Mageia 5. http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=616053 https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.2.0.php

As kde4 conflict with plasma 5 you can't install kde4 polkit agent to plasma 5 so only what works is mate and kf5 polkit agent.

Bug still valid with plasma desktop 5.3.2 default install using task-plasma5. However, polkit-kde-agent-1 package is now available and and installable and I guess, should just be added as a dependency to according Plasma5 metapackage.
for both Cauldron i586 and x86 systems. muti De : lxde, xfce, mate + cinnamon MCC and updater applet ask for required password when invoked. Plasma5 DE does not request password for either MCC or updater applet when invoked, same systems. KDE(4) has not been installed on these systems

Workaround is to install the package polkit-kde-agent-1 yourself. Nicolas, while you are upgrading Plasma 5 to 5.4beta - could you also add the polkit as a dependency to corresponding Plasma 5 metapackage? :)
Did a fresh network install of Cauldron -> Minimal install with X -> urpmi sddm task-plasma5. Package polkit-kde-agent-1 was installed during the installation - so it seems that the bug is fixed in august 12th KF 5.13 & Plasma 5.4beta update.
