Running sudo service polkitd reload gives me a polkitd: unrecognized service message. I restarted the dbus service, the message remained the same. I thought polkit is supposed to be part of the system, so I don't know how to deal with this issue.

The command you're looking for is systemctl restart polkitd.service
