Using NoiseTorch with Sway and Polkit

[Robby Zambito]

Hi Guix,

I am trying to run NoiseTorch on my desktop, which runs swaywm and
pipewire. I added the following configuration to my system:

(setuid-programs
  (append
   (list
    (setuid-program (program (file-append noisetorch "/bin/NoiseTorch"))))
   %setuid-programs))

and rebuilt my system. When I run NoiseTorch from my path (the system),
I get this error:

XGB: conn.go:47: Could not get authority info: open /home/robby/.Xauthority: no 
such file or directory
XGB: conn.go:48: Trying connection without authority info...
panic: x protocol authentication refused: Authorization required, but no 
authorization protocol specified

When I install NoiseTorch as my user and run it directly I get the following:

robby@lambda ~$ /home/robby/.guix-profile/bin/NoiseTorch

The GUI will open (unlike the other method), but it will prompt saying
it does not have the "capabilities to function properly", and a button
to grant it the capabilities it needs (requiring root). Clicking the
button will prompt for my password, but entering the correct password
does not work (I have tried dozens of times, I know I'm typing it right)

I found a supposed solution to this for Nix, but this solution yields
the same results for me:

If anyone has any insight that would be greatly appreciated!
