[Anarchy OpenBox Edition] GUI Authentication tool is missing

[FredBezies]

After installing Anarchy OpenBox from an ISO based on a november 1st git clone, I noticed lxession is missing. I added Pamac-aur to my installation, and I cannot access to options which needs privilege escalation, like adding package.

I searched for lxession. It was missing.

I use Pamac on ArchLinux with i3, and lxsession isn’t installed, only lxpolkit.

Lxsession isn't included with i3?

Not sure what is up with all the lxsession complaints... Someone asked the same about i3. Lxsession isn't included with open box or i3. Install lxde if you want lx sessions.....

I explain myself bad. There is no authentication dialog box when needed.

Modifying title.

Steps I followed

1. Installed Anarchy OpenBox Edition flavour + pacaur + pamac-aur in VirtualBox ; added an user with sudo rights
2. When you are in this new installation, launch pamac-aur
3. Select a package you want to add like a translation for LibreOffice for example
4. Click on apply

You should have an authentication dialog box asking for your password to continue. Nothing is happening :(

[FredBezies]

A screenshot to show what is happening. Dialog box can be translated as "Authentication failed".

[FredBezies]

In order to get an authentication dialog, I used this workaround:

1. adding lxpolkit - either with lxpolkit-git or lxsession
2. put it in .config/openbox/autostart with lxpolkit & at the end
3. logged out and logged in

[deadhead420]

Not really an anarchy bug.

OK. No problem. Closing it so.

[deadhead420]

I don't want to include lxsession if I don't have to... The bug is with what? Pacaur?

There is no graphical polkit authentication agent. If lxsession isn't included in some profiles, it shouldn't offer to install Pamac, because it will be unusable.

[FredBezies]

I think every single software which needs temporary root rights will need it. I didn't want to start such a war here. Some people would appreciate to get a GUI package manager and an authentication tool to make it work better.

That's all I meant. Let's stop there, OK? I made a wrong move opening this bug, I admit it. Let's go to real bugs. I'm sorry. OK?

[deadhead420]

I can install it if the user selects pamac but don't want to include it with anything by default.

But what about other desktops. Xfce4, etc... I find it very unnecessary to install lxsession anywhere other than lxde.

Other desktops have own authentication agents. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Polkit#Authentication_agents

[FredBezies]

@deadhead420 you could do so for pamac-aur. But I was just noticing that authentication was missing. That's it. And also, I forget you give fetchpkg for package management.. My bad :(

@notramo indeed. I was just telling an authentication agent in GUI mode could help for some GUI tools... I didn't want to start a war :(

Well, subject is closed now?

[deadhead420]

I'll work on it in the next release. For now it will just have to be up to the user.

[deadhead420]

I will add it for openbox.

[deadhead420]

added polkit-gnome to openbox
