I am trying to test virtilization for the first time on my F42 Beta with Sway (for F42 Test days).
I’m in virt-manager (graphical interface), and it tells me I have no polkit.
What is the best way to get a polkit running under Sway?
I should add, I do not use the Sway ‘Spin’ in which polkit will work ‘out-of-the-box’
I got my polkit on Fedora Sway running by installing lxqt-policykit and adding it to my Sway config file in my user directory.
sudo dnf install lxqt-policykit
sudo vi /home/user/.config/sway/config
And insert one line
exec /usr/bin/lxpolkit
One can use any polkit, but the exec command added the config file will be different. I found my polkit with the help of polkit - ArchWiki but I had to manually research the name and location of the agent as it is different in Fedora.
