Denial when calling reboot in the snap #164

Closed kenvandine closed 12 months ago

Reboot is failing for me due to this denial:

It seems like this isn't covered by the desktop interface. The only interface that partially allows access to org.gnome.SessionManager is screen-inhibit-control, which gives access to Inhibit and Uninhibit.

We'd still be able to reboot using org.freedesktop.login1.Manager though (but this way the user won't see a confirmation dialog). Access to that is already provided by fwupd

i have a similar issue: image

it appears that i am unable to apply a firmware update. although i am guessing such a program like firmware updater would require elevated permissions? i tried opening it with sudo in the hopes that might bypass any permission issues however when trying to launch it with sudo i was greeted with: mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/run/user/0’: Permission denied unable to connect to D-Bus: Failed to execute child process “dbus-launch” (No such file or directory)
