Can confirm. I'm not able to authorize fullscreen UI in GPU Screen Recorder (flatpak) on Mint 22.1 Beta. I get this error after inputting my password on the authorization screen:

"Failed to setup the new UI. You either cancelled the installation or you don't have pkexec installed and a polkit agent running."

Running it on a terminal, it detects the existance of pkexec but still does not authorize.
