Repro:
1. Run nvidia-settings
2. Go to the X Server Display Configuration page
3. Select a monitor in the layout and make any settings change to it using the
controls below
4. Click the "Save to X Configuration File" button
5. On the "Save X Configuration" popup, click Save6
6. The polkit auth prompt will pop up. Authenticated
Expected:
It works -- the xorg.conf file you specified is saved and you return to the
nvidia-settings window without incident
Actual:
It errors with "Unable to open X config file '{file you specified}' for
writing.'

Title:
nvidia-polkit not executable
Status in screen-resolution-extra package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I'm running version 0.18.3 of the package in 24.04 (noble).
The package does not set nvidia-polkit executable, so the nvidia-settings app
fails to save xorg.conf changes with a misleading error message.
Clearly it is a python script, and simply setting it executable fixes the
problem:
sudo chmod +x /usr/share/screen-resolution-extra/nvidia-polkit
