How to install xfce-polkit

#1 Post by slayd »

I'm following an article on adding BSPWM to MX Linux Xfce4.

One of the steps is to start xfce-polkit, usr/lib/xfce-polkit/xfce-polkit &, in my ~/.config/bspwm/bspwmrc file. I assume the author meant /usr/lib/...

I don't have /usr/lib/xfce-polkit/ on my system, MX 21.3

I've never played with polkit before. Is there a way to install the above? It's not showing up with sudo apt install...

Is there another polkit installed that I should use instead?

Thanks

Note that it's already running by default:
$ ps ax | grep polk
2720 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/libexec/polkitd --no-debug
3589 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1
