Analysis and plan for fixing truncated dialog box issue on Linux:

  • Analyze the issue - GUI dialog appears with truncated text when selecting drive on Linux
  • Investigate the root cause - likely polkit/pkexec authentication dialog or Wine GUI issue
  • Identify solution approach - create polkit policy file or improve dialog sizing
  • Implement fix - add proper polkit policy file for Linux users
  • Test the solution
  • Document usage for Linux users

The issue appears when running hdl_dumb.exe (Windows GUI) on Linux through Wine, and a dialog box shows truncated text "Pl...d:" when selecting a drive. This is likely due to:

  1. Polkit authentication dialog with truncated title when Wine tries to access block devices
  2. Or a Windows dialog rendered by Wine with sizing issues

Solution: Create a polkit policy file to properly handle authentication requests with a clear, non-truncated message.

Describe the issue

I'm on Linux and when I select my drive a popup window appears with a dialog box. As the box is too small, the text does not fit in the title and I have no idea what it wants.
