On login, or when NetworkManager is restarted, an error message from PolicyKit 1 pops up:
System policy prevents enabling or disabling device statistics
An application is attempting to perform an action that requires privileges. Authentication is required to perform this action.
Password for root: ____

Call this Message 1.
On attempting to turn Airplane Mode on/off, two more messages pop up in sequence.

Call these Messages 2A and 2B.
On attempting to connect to Wi-Fi, another message pops up.
System policy prevents control of network connections

Call this Message 3.
Nothing happens (visibly) when message 1 is cancelled.
When messages 2A and 2B are cancelled, airplane mode cannot be switched.
Message 3 appears after I enter the Wi-Fi password.
When message 3 is cancelled, Wi-Fi does not connect, and a notification appears.
Failed to add Network_SSID
Not authorized to control networking.
I have modified 2 files in /etc/polkit-1.
/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/10-allow-network-manager.pkla
[Network Manager all Users]
Identity=unix-user:*
Action=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.*
ResultAny=no
ResultActive=yes
/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/10-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.rules
polkit.addRule(function(action,subject) {
if (action.id.indexOf("org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.") == 0 && subject.isInGroup("network")) {
return polkit.Result.YES;
}
});
My user is in the "network" group.
After making these modifications, messages 2A and 2B will still appear, but airplane mode will switch if they are cancelled. Messages 1 and 3 still appear.
I am on an Acer laptop, with OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and KDE.
What is the cause of this, and how can I fix it?
Judging by the first line, this script is a set of Bash commands.
If this line is there, when the script is executed it will run as a Bash script.
This line is required for it to work as a Bash script; if it isn't there, it will execute using the kernel, and it won't work because it's not a binary program.
If you want it all in one line, just copy and paste it into a terminal that already runs Bash, and exclude the first line. But why do you want it in one line in the first place? Multiline scripts have no performance drop, and they are more readable.
