Code:

cat << EOF > 75-dontaskmeagain.pkla
[Global Permissions]
Identity=unix-user:$USER
Action=*
ResultAny=no
ResultInactive=no
ResultActive=yes
EOF

Code:

su
mv 75*pkla /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/

No, those commands were intended to be run as is. Remove the files you created.

Open a terminal and copy and paste the entire first code box then hit enter. Now use the file that was generated by running the next two commands.
