[X2Go-User] colord fix needs update for Debian >= 12 / polkit >= 120

[Philipp Huebner]

Hi all,

on Debian 12 I was getting that annoying color-manager polkit 
authentication window again.

Turns out, the file
/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/10-vendor.d/x2goserver-no-colord.pkla
installed by x2goserver no longer has any effect because that backend is 
obsolete in polkit >= 120 or so.

I ported the original rule to /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/color-manager.rules 
with the following content:


polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
         if (action.id.match("org.freedesktop.color-manager") &&
	    subject.local == false ) {
                 polkit.log("action=" + action);
                 polkit.log("subject=" + subject);
                 polkit.log("action '" + action.id + "' denied!");
                 return polkit.Result.NO;
         }
});


That solved the issue for me.

Supposedly one can also install the package polkitd-pkla to get back 
support for the old file, but I have not tried that approach.

Best wishes
