Gentoo: ERROR input-remapper-gtk:50: Failed to pkexec the reader-service

[xoores]

I'm trying to get input-remapper working under Gentoo and it seems that it requires Polkit for some reason?

Is there a way to run this without having to deal witk polkit? I don't have it configured on my system as I don't use it (I don't have systemd). I tried to start the GUI as both root and user to no avail.

I use sudo in place of pkexec if I need to have that functionality :slightly_smiling_face:
