policykit - where is it?

[maestrobwh1]

I see that policykit-1 is installed, but have no idea how to run it so that at login, I am not asked for a password to mount a pcmcia CF card. It sees it as a hard disk apparently..

In other versions, there was an icon for policykit that allowed access to things normally accessible only but root.

Is this coming soon? How do I call this from command line?

Re: policykit - where is it?

Oddly no: do you have it listed in "...systemsettings/advanced?" All the "regular" selections are there as they were in karmic, but in my lucid, it is absent.

polkit-kde-1 and associated dependencies are intstalled. I also looked in /usr/share/kde4 sor a desktop file, as this is where the icons are located for systemsettings. I don't see anything related to "policykit" there. I also took a look in /usr/bin and did not see anything there as far as an executable. I do have some gnome stuff associated with policykit, as it was pulled in with banshee and/or docky.

I went so far as to download polkit-kde-1 and extracted the package with ark. There are no "desktop" files that would end up in systemsettngs anyway.

Maybe it is incomplete as of yet?
