Hello
I've a system that's updated with kde-redhat, kde-unstable and kde-testing repos enabled. I'm unable to change the system date & time (when logged in as a non-root user). The "Date & Time" item in system settings displays the date & time with a warning that "You are not allowed to save the configuration". After changing the date or time setting, the 'Apply' button becomes active and clicking it seems to change the values. But when the configuration item is closed, it again asks to apply changes and when I choose to do so, I get an error message: " Unable to authenticate/execute the action: 4, "
It used to work in the older version where I'd be offered to enter the root password to apply the changes. Anything to do with PolicyKit/polkit?

Indeed, looks like KAuth is not working properly. What Fedora is this on? 12? (I'm asking because F11 has PK 0.9, F12 has PK 1.)

I'm on F12.

The problem here is that the KDE4_INSTALL_AUTH_ACTIONS macro in KDE4Macros.cmake is only handling the old polkit-qt 0.9, there's no case for polkit-qt-1, see: http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdelibs/cmake/modules/KDE4Macros.cmake?revis... So the required generated policies are not getting installed. jreznik, if you read this, can you please look into this? It looks like the macros were not merged properly when the PK1 KAuth backend was merged. The file lists of the KAuth-using packages (kdebase-workspace, mainly) will also need to be adjusted once this is fixed, they're currently not listing any KAuth-related files with PK1 because they aren't getting installed.
