I'm developing simple X app, which works fine with sudo
, but I can't open display with pkexec
(XOpenDisplay
returns 0). Any idea?? What am I missing?
Please note I added following policy in /usr/local/share/polkit-1/actions
with symlink to /usr/share/polkit-1/actions
:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
