Hi,

I just installed gentoo with stage 3, and setted up everything.
I've installed gnome too, but the problem is that even though I am a sudoer and member of all the relevant groups, i can't do basic operations like mounting a usb, connecting to a wireless with NetworkManager etc.

I've installed policykit but couldn't figure out what is happening.
Can you give me some guidelines on what should I read about understanding and fixing the permissions?

Thanks a lot

Nikitas

Sounds like dbus not running. Please check "eselect rc list" whether dbus is included in your default runlevel, add it if not.

It's running on default. :?
[edit]
Well, after playing a little bit with polkit, I've made it work.
Sorry for the stupid questions.

Thanks!

Which raises the question: what did you need to do to make it work?

The wiki entries appear to mostly assume that it will just work when installed and running, so wondering why it did not work hardly seems stupid. Not to mention, even if it is a mistake only someone totally unfamiliar with polikt would make, not everyone who tries to use it is familiar with it.

At first I tried playing with the polkit configuration files, but then i used this guide:

I had a lot of essential packets not installed, and also gdm was not set up.
