How-To Guides

Goal-oriented recipes for users who already know the basics. Each guide assumes a working installation — if you do not have one, start with the Quickstart.

Guide	Use it when
Install the D-Bus bridge	--diagnose says the bridge is not installed or not running.
Read a diagnostic result	Something does not work and you want to know which layer refused.
Allow or block a device, for now or for good	You are choosing between this session only and permanently.
Add and remove rules safely	You are editing the policy, possibly while something else edits it too.
Change policy with your own password	Typing the administrator password for every change is too much.
Keep announcing devices with the window closed	You want notifications without keeping the window open.
Report a bug without leaking your hardware	You are about to open an issue.
