So i am fairly new to this, sorry if I’m missing something obvious. Just made the switch to Manjaro on my laptop.
I have installed and configured xRDP. I allowed my user account access to my session then edited ~.xinitrc in user profile/Home directory and told it to start my xfce4 session by adding “exec dbus-launch --sh-syntax startxfce4” to the bottom of the file.
Great this seems to work! I can rdp from windows device on the network no problem.
However I’m running into a problem whenever a GUI app tries to launch an authentication window It simple states “authentication failed”
I would post an image but I can’t seem to post links or images.
I gather this is something to do with some type of polling from reading a few threads on here but I can’t seem to figure out what my next troubleshooting step is. Below is an output of systemctl status polkit.service I’m led to believe this may be helpful let me know if I’m way out in left field.
