-===
+No polkit agent available
+-------------------------
-In this release the following issues are known, work-arounds are noted when available.
+To run Bitmask and the services correctly you need to have a running polkit
+agent. If you don't have one you will get an error and won't be able to start
+Bitmask.
-General Issues
---------------
+The currently recognized polkit agents are:
-- If you have received a big ammount of mails (tested with more than 400), you may experience that Thunderbird won't respond.
+| process name | Who uses it? |
+|---------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
+| `polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1` | Gnome |
+| `polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1` | KDE |
+| `polkit-mate-authentication-agent-1` | Mate |
+| `lxpolkit` | LXDE |
+| `gnome-shell` | Gnome shell |
+| `fingerprint-polkit-agent` | the `fingerprint-gui` package |
-That problem does not happen if you have the client open and Thunderbird loading mails while are reaching your inbox.
-- You may get the error: "Unable to connect: Problem with provider" in situations when the problem is the network instead of the provider. (see: https://leap.se/code/issues/4023)
+If you have a different polkit agent running that it's not in theat list,
+please report a bug so we can include in our checks.
-- Opening the same account from more than one box at the same time will possibly break your account.
+You can get the list of running processes that match polkit with the following
+command: `ps aux | grep -i polkit`.
+Here is an example on my KDE desktop:
-- Managing a huge ammount of mails (e.g.: moving mails to a folder) will block the UI (see https://leap.se/code/issues/4837)
+ ➜ ps aux | grep polkit
+ root 1392 0.0 0.0 298972 6120 ? Sl Sep22 0:02 /usr/lib/policykit-1/polkitd --no-debug
+ user 1702 0.0 0.0 12972 920 pts/16 S+ 16:42 0:00 grep polkit
+ user 3259 0.0 0.4 559764 38464 ? Sl Sep22 0:05 /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1
-Special Environments
