Problem
If you boot a Fedora 39 Beta installer for the Budgie or Sway spins, the installer doesn’t start when you follow the expected steps (for Budgie, that clicking on the Install to Hard Drive icon, and for Sway, that’s pressing Win+d and typing liveinst).
Note: This only affects Fedora 39 Beta. It will be fixed in the final Fedora 39 install image.
Cause
There is a bug related to PolicyKit authentication when launching the installer in selected desktop environments.
