#prompted — Public Fediverse posts

Something changed with #Kubuntu 25.10 over the past week. Now all of a sudden I'm getting #prompted for my #sudo #password every time #PackageKit runs to update package sources (which is several times a day)!

Fortunately, you can create a custom #PolKit #rule to let it run without prompting you!

sudo nano /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/10-allow-packagekit-refresh.rules

polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
    if (action.id == "org.freedesktop.packagekit.system-sources-refresh" &&
        subject.isInGroup("sudo")) {
        return polkit.Result.YES;
    }
});
