Title:
  nvidia-polkit not executable

Status in screen-resolution-extra package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  I'm running version 0.18.3 of the package in 24.04 (noble).
  The package does not set nvidia-polkit executable, so the nvidia-settings app fails to save xorg.conf changes with a misleading error message.

  Clearly it is a python script, and simply setting it executable fixes the problem:
  sudo chmod +x /usr/share/screen-resolution-extra/nvidia-polkit
