@Eclbu, this solution has never had anything to do with PolKit. This is just a hack to use kdesu instead of PolKit authorization. kdesu by default launches any application with su (SuperUser). Which is exactly the opposite of what PolKit is meant to achieve: granular control of temporary per-action elevated privileges instead of granting "god mode".

Would love to see a fix, this is my favorite way of doing polkit.

I cloned this repository and changed the dependency manually to kdesu5. depends=(qt5-base kdesu5 systemd) then I built and installed it: makepkg -si And it works fine.

According to pacman, installing kdesu5 will break this package's dependency on kdesu. It refused to do a system upgrade due to that. Possibly related to the previous comment as well.

This doesn't work for me in Sway/Wayland:
"org.freedesktop.policykit.exec" "Authentication is needed to run `/usr/bin/bash /tmp/tmp.KGE96fDFgL' as the super user" "" QMap(("polkit.caller-pid", "52356")("polkit.subject-pid", "52346")) "13-67ecdcb2b687251ff0b46b58a35ac1a6-1-c21858666580516582a9066d4bf289fd" (QPair("unix-user",QMap(("uid", QVariant(uint, 1000)))))
