Not a user of policykit here -- I don't like it (as may be deduced from my other posts). But Gene, before getting all impolite on folks *giving you stuff for free*, please do some homework. The policykit-1 package page [1] lists *seven* man pages accompanying the package itself: /usr/share/man/man1/pkaction.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/pkcheck.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/pkexec.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/pkttyagent.1.gz /usr/share/man/man8/pklocalauthority.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/polkit.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/polkitd.8.gz (and should those be missing in your machines, care to file a bug?) You read any of them? Thought so. It took me less than 5 minutes to find that out, even not having polkit installed. Install && use it, or... leave it (as I do), but stop shitting on people offering you (for free) the fruit of their labours. > What the hell?

Once you've read that pages above, you also might want install policykit-1-doc [2] with (roughly estimated) 50 HTML files carefully written for your reading convenience. > So where are the docs? Do you see them now? Sorry for the somewhat rough tone. But: (1) your tone was also somewhat rough, so par for the course, I'd say. And (2) always assume the possibility of an error on your side. Cheers, nevertheless :-) [1] https://packages.debian.org/stretch/amd64/policykit-1/filelist (replace "amd64" by your installed arch) [2] https://packages.debian.org/stretch/all/policykit-1-doc/filelist - -- tomás -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlotDW0ACgkQBcgs9XrR2kb2agCdHI/ELt0AeC0mBKBBjdfItMsB AgQAn02vtmOtnwmniVGMh1J57c0iphLs =7MEz -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
