Hi!
I am trying to run net-vpn/riseup-vpn-0.21.11::gentoo, but apparently no polkit agent can be found:

I'm running sys-apps/openrc-0.44.10::gentoo and sys-auth/elogind-246.10-r2::gentoo, but I don't have any of the graphical polkit agents installed, so I want to try using pkttyagent.
According to busctl the polkit daemon is listening on DBus:

Now I'm not exactly sure how to start pkttyagent. In the manpage it says
| Quote: | | pkttyagent is used to start a textual authentication agent for the subject specified by either --process or --system-bus-name. If neither of these options are given, the parent process is used. |
Just calling "pkttyagent" would then take the shell as parent process, I suppose. On trying, it starts without an error, but - as expected - still no polkit agent can be found. About the other two options I am unsure how to use them: Would I need to start riseup-vpn and then quickly run "pkttyagent --process `pidof riseup-vpn`"? This does not seem right (and it does not work).
When trying to specify the system bus (which one would be the right one?), I get the following:
| Code: | $ pkttyagent --system-bus-name=org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1
** (pkttyagent:26484): CRITICAL **: 09:06:05.395: polkit_system_bus_name_new: assertion 'g_dbus_is_unique_name (name)' failed
^C
$ pkttyagent --system-bus-name=org.freedesktop.DBus
** (pkttyagent:27715): CRITICAL **: 09:06:14.404: polkit_system_bus_name_new: assertion 'g_dbus_is_unique_name (name)' failed
|
It's probably just a small thing I'm missing here. Does anybody here know how to use pkttyagent properly? |
