Hi!
Whenever I try to save a setting in "systemsettings" policyeditor, it won't be saved. It does all, when I click on close and reopen, the settings disapperared. In my case I want to change the policy for "mounting system internal disk", so my esata drive gets automounted.Right now it asks me for the password over and over again. Kwallet is not installed and I really want it to stay that way if possible. Is this a bug? Anything forgotten? |

It is probably asking for the Root password, and in addition the PolicyKit configuration may not be setup to allow you to make changes using this utility.

Hmm, when I try to setup through systemsettings it wants the root password.
While mounting, the user password is asked. I also tried to start root's KDE and it was not saved through systemsettings. How could I change it? |

You will likely need to edit the polkit authorization files by hand. Unfortunately I don't know how that is done...

Ok, but why? Isn't editing that the point of the Sy<stemsettings-integration tool?

The issue here is that the System Settings tool hasn't been authorized by your distributors packages to make changes to the files.

So it is a Gentoo bug and should be reported there?

As far as I am aware, yes. It could however be that the policies shipped by KDE don't allow it to function out of the box, but that is unlikely.

Thank you! I am going to fill a bug there.
