Authentication is needed to run '/usr/sbin/xfpm-power-backlight-helper --set-brightness X' as the super user
After an update 1 month ago every time I want to change the brightness it pops that, It says that the action is from org.freedesktop.policykit.exec. I don't want to change anything to polkit, I just don't want to break my system and I don't know much about that either so I just asked here this bc I'm stupid and lazy.
here is a pic, hope I don't get banned for sending this link: https://ibb.co/dsQJwmXM
How to make it to normal to no more ask me for the root password? Thx.

This was asked a few days ago in XFCE setting backlight value requires root password and solved there (and still getting some discussion)

It is not necessary to delete it; there is a link to the other thread ... and after a certain time it can/will be moved to "duplicate threads" (that's what we do).
