@boredsquirrel
You need to create a polkit rule that allows authentication without password. I will see if I can send an example your way sometime this comming week.

I have examples in the repo I linked

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

Please ask KDE Neon devs, if placing this rule as /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/packagekit-update.rules is safe

I don't have a rules.d directory at /etc/polkit-1/ though, I only have localauthority and localauthority.conf.d.

Should I create the directory then create the file ?

Thanks

Yes create the directory. This is a standard directory but KDE Neon may not use it. Also you need to place that policy there and reload the polkit daemon (no idea how to do that, just reboot lol).

And as I said, if the admin password window shows, use the "show details" button at the left to get the ID of the polkit action.

KDE is a very empowering Desktop!

Unfortunately it's not working 😅

Thanks

Rule looks fine. Please contact KDE devs on discuss.kde.org

This will be Neon specific, on Fedora this is the directory used for polkit rules.
