For example, <code>polkit_gnome</code> is a GNOME-based authentication agent, but it will usually only autostart when used with GNOME, KDE, or Unity (examine its autostart file in <code>etc/xdg/autostart/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1.desktop</code> for details); otherwise you will need to start it yourself, e.g. by copying that autostart file to <code>~/.config/autostart/</code> and removing the parts that restrict it to GNOME/KDE/Unity. | For example, <code>polkit_gnome</code> is a GNOME-based authentication agent, but it will usually only autostart when used with GNOME, KDE, or Unity (examine its autostart file in <code>etc/xdg/autostart/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1.desktop</code> for details); otherwise you will need to start it yourself, e.g. by copying that autostart file to <code>~/.config/autostart/</code> and removing the parts that restrict it to GNOME/KDE/Unity. | ||
Alternatively, you can start it on login by creating a systemd user service: | |||
<syntaxhighlight lang="nix"> | |||
systemd = { | |||
user.services.polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 = { | |||
description = "polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1"; | |||
wants = [ "graphical-session.target" ]; | |||
wantedBy = [ "graphical-session.target" ]; | |||
after = [ "graphical-session.target" ]; | |||
serviceConfig = { | |||
Type = "simple"; | |||
ExecStart = "${pkgs.polkit_gnome}/libexec/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1"; | |||
Restart = "on-failure"; | |||
RestartSec = 1; | |||
TimeoutStopSec = 10; | |||
}; | |||
}; | |||
}; | |||
</syntaxhighlight> | |||
