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.

You need to create a polkit rule that allows authentication without password. I will see if I can send an example your way sometime this comming week.

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

That was only one of the requested info. But I edited the rule.
