I think Gene's situation is probably also complicated by the fact that the host he's running these commands on is not his actual desktop. It's not clear to me if Gene has a full desktop environment installed on these Banana Pis with a display/keyboard/mouse attached and is doing commands locally, or if Gene's running Mate desktop on his "real" desktop computer and connected to a Banana Pi over SSH from a terminal. If the latter then do we know on WHICH of those two computers Gene has installed all this polkit stuff? And does polkit even work over the network on Wayland like it would on X? Then of course is the fact that Gene won't be running Debian on the Banana Pi… Another challenging thread. Thanks, Andy -- https://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting
