Privilege Escalation Timeout in GUI

[scotty65]

I assume you are referring to pamac, Manjaro’s package manager.

Pamac uses polkit, not sudo, for authorisation. This could be a solution for you:

How to override polkit password prompt in pamac?

Alright, I have a working solution. I add /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/99-pamac-override.rules with this contents: polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) { if (action.id == "org.manjaro.pamac.commit" && subject.isInGroup("butla")) { return polkit.Result.YES; } }) When I add the file polkitd reloads the rules, which can be observed when running systemctl status polkit.service.

Just make sure you change “butla” in “subject.isInGroup("butla")” to your own user group.
