What is the diff between polkit and pam?

Haven’t imagined that it will run like bare metal

Artix-s6-Lxde boots in 3 sec in VM

Guys is it normal that even with a polkit authenticator I can’t run poweroff without having su privileges?

Set suid

yes, you’re looking for loginctl poweroff

loginctl

You might post on the web forum – more users may chime in to help than here.

Oh ok, I thought it was included with elogind

Okay, thanks

which of these should be explicitly enabled: dbus, udev, elogind, poilkitd ?

All

i dont think so

Dbus is used by everything, udev for hardware, elogind handles sessions, and polkit handles elevating privileges…. So yes, you need all of them working and running…

what is the diff between polkit and pam? I tried to google it, but there’s no understandable answer..

For exmaple polkit is what allows me to mount a pen drive or another partition on my hard drive without needing to type my password.

Because normally mount can only be done by root or someone with the disk group.

But polkit allows actions to be performed by non root users. Obviously in controlled fashion. It doesn’t give them full root access, just access to mount.

pam is for authentication and sessions, polkit is for privilege escalation, they are not related

thanks, I think now I understand it

just want to ask one question,can i stop libvirtd,virtlockd,and virtlogd after exiting VM

yes

If you have no VMs running… Obviously. 🤦🏻‍♂

ok

slackware?

use ftp or ssh to share files

since I run windows VMs I just run vsftpd server on host

slackware

Hotel? Trivago

wat

very old meme

Or 9p or that other shared filesystem that eats my server RAM

virt-manager has a built-in shared folders

Ah virtiofs

It is libvirt that does it using virtiofs or 9p
https://libvirt.org/kbase/virtiofs.html

iirc, virt-manager is configured for 9p
