[SOLVED] Mageia Control Centre would not open on Fluxbox

[hosadeeb]

Am I the only one on whose Fluxbox neither Mageia Control Centre, rpmdrak or such would never open from the menu????

The only way on Fluxbox is to use a terminal.

Any suggestions?

There's no polkit-agent running, that's why you have the issues.

You probably need to adjust the OnlyShowIn key for /etc/xdg/autostart/polkit-mate-authentication-agent-1.desktop so that it will also autostart under fluxbox.

Code: Select all

[doktor5000@Mageia4 ~]$ grep Only /etc/xdg/autostart/polkit-mate-authentication-agent-1.desktop
OnlyShowIn=MATE;XFCE;LXDE;OPENBOX;Old;

You can also simply add the following to fluxbox autostart:

Code: Select all

/usr/libexec/polkit-mate-authentication-agent-1
