Raspberry Pi OS • reviving: Authentication is required popup in virtual vnc, a solution !!!

In the post: viewtopic.php?p=2155890&hilit=Authentic ... c#p2155890
@isidore636 describes a problem I also had logging in remotely to my RPI3B+ with vnc-virtual. There always was this annoying pop up window asking for username and password ...
I found a solution using this article: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1193810 ... untu-19-10

which essentially says:

For Ubuntu 19.10, do this in a terminal

sudo bash
cd /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d
nano 46-allow-update-repo.pkla

and then put this inside the file

[Allow Package Management all Users]
Identity=unix-user:*
Action=org.freedesktop.packagekit.system-sources-refresh
ResultAny=yes
ResultInactive=yes
ResultActive=yes

*** I simply applied it on my Raspberry Pi 3B+ and it works, no more popup.

cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)"
