The wiki/Tips-&-Tricks mentions of starting polkit-gnome agent but /usr/lib/polkit-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 doesn't exist in newer gnome versions.

This has been reported before in #52 , but the wiki has not been updated to reflect the version it works with.

  • OS: Debian (testing)
  • Version: GNOME 41.4 / 42 ?

Just install it using your package manager
For arch: sudo pacman -S polkit-gnome-git

This will get you /usr/lib/polkit-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1

Look here
