hyprpolkitagent

hyprpolkitagent is a polkit authentication daemon. It is required for GUI applications to be able to request elevated privileges.

If it’s not available in your distro’s repositories, you can either build it from source or use a different agent, e.g. KDE’s one.

Usage

Add exec-once = systemctl --user start hyprpolkitagent to your Hyprland config and restart hyprland. (obviously change that to whatever you are using if you are not using the hypr one)

On distributions that use a different init system, such as Gentoo, it may be necessary to use exec-once=/usr/lib64/libexec/hyprpolkitagent instead.

Other possible paths include /usr/lib/hyprpolkitagent and /usr/libexec/hyprpolkitagent.
