Asks for password to change any option. #5

I have all options enabled except USB charging because it just doesn't show. I have it set to be in the system control center. For some reason when I toggle anything it just asks for a password? Lenovo Ideapad 3 14IML05 (meaning it's a 14"), on Fedora 37 Workstation beta with Gnome 43.0.

The extension only shows available option that are accessible from /sys/bus/platform/drivers/ideapad_acpi/VPC2004:00/, if an option isn't available it means the extension can't find its respective file, either because the file doesn't exist or it has a different name than the one the extension is looking for. For USB charging the file name is usb_charging. So can you send me the output of ls /sys/bus/platform/drivers/ideapad_acpi/VPC2004:00/?

As for the password problem, unfortunately I don't know of any other way to do it, because the extension needs sudo privilege in order to edit the file inside /sys/bus/platform/drivers/ideapad_acpi/VPC2004:00/, so it needs to ask for the password everytime.

As you can see there's no option for USB charging in your laptop, at least not from the ideapad_acpi driver, which is what the extension uses to control the ideapad options.
