hyprpolkitagent is a polkit authentication daemon. It is required for GUI applications to
|
|
|
|
|
be able to request elevated privileges.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If it's not available in your distro's repositories, you can either [build it from source](https://github.com/hyprwm/hyprpolkitagent)
|
|
|
|
|
or use a different agent, e.g. [KDE's one](https://github.com/KDE/polkit-kde-agent-1/).

|
|
|
(obviously change that to whatever you are using if you are not using the hypr one)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On distributions that use a different init system, such as Gentoo, it may be
|
|
|
|
|
necessary to use
|
|
|
|
|
`exec-once=/usr/lib64/libexec/hyprpolkitagent` instead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other possible paths include
|
|
|
|
|
`/usr/lib/hyprpolkitagent` and
|
|
|
|
|
`/usr/libexec/hyprpolkitagent`.
