These are different versions (1.24.2 vs. 1.24.1). But that’s just two
store file names; where’s the third one?
Isn’t the problem that you reconfigured and so there’s now a mismatch
between the polkit rule in effect, which expects 1.24.1 (say), and the
version you’re running?
(FWIW brightness change works in GNOME.)
Thanks,
Ludo’.
