Support headless policy kit
I tried to install bitmask on a raspberry pi and need a way to run polkit in headless mode, meaning without graphical environment.
Quoting @kali:
I would assume that a proper debian package (or openwrt) would install the helpers in their place. other than that, I think we need to add a command to the cli to invoke a text-only authentication agent.
it seems we can handle authentication in text mode https://www.freedesktop.org/software/polkit/docs/latest/polkit-apps.html , https://www.freedesktop.org/software/polkit/docs/latest/PolkitAgentTextListener.html
but I couldn't find anything ready to use. It might be that we have to write our own agent? I think I've seen some default fallback to console before. needs further investigation.
maybe it's worthy to invest those efforts in packaging for arm instead.
What benefit would that be for the user ? Given this is not our priority I'd be fine to have a arm/raspberry pi install howto from source.
can you check if vpn works when you drop the files in place manually?
I'll do and paste the results.
