SUMMARY The notification event for Authentication Required is absent from polkit's side, meaning a sound is never played if ever configured to do so. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set a sound in Notifications -> Application Settings -> Authentication System 2. Trigger an authentication prompt 3. (lack of) Profit OBSERVED RESULT No sound EXPECTED RESULT Sound SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window) Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon 6.3.4, not that it matters (see Additional Information) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Plasma 6.3.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.12.0 Qt Version: 6.8.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The event was removed by https://invent.kde.org/plasma/polkit-kde-agent-1/-/commit/595b96ed99d44f8a718e8e3f8c9834852bc7f6d7, and seemingly never added back since. The date of that commit makes this bug a month younger than Feren OS ironically - happy 10th anniversary, this bug, in August!
Confirmed on git-master
Wanna fix it?
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #2) > Wanna fix it? Wacky is trying to fix it downstream, and given the comments on its removal it appears too annoying to figure out myself currently. Perhaps ping WackyIdeas about it, as iirc he's in VDG Chat...? and has multiple other things pending for MR creations upstream such as a Passive Busy Cursor Launch Feedback Desktop Effect, reorganisable System Tray icons, etc.
Turns out this bug was already reported and just didn't appear in search results, oops. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 448554 ***
