octoxbps as root ? #2

Closed ghost closed 7 years ago

ghost commented 7 years ago

EDITED

Hello @aarnt ,

I currently use octoxbps in Void linux

When I try to run the program as root: $ sudo octoxbps I see this message: "You can not run octoXBPS with administrator's credential."

Now when I run the program as a regular user: $ octoxbps I can start it. But when I want to install / remove a package, I see this error: "There are no means to get administrator's credentials. You'll need to install a su frontend like gksu or kdesu."

I can't use your program without gksu / kdesu. Why ? It doesn't make sense for me... ...but if everyone thinks it's okay, well, I guess I'm wrong. :wink:

Regards.

Sorry, but why is this issue closed without any explanation? I installed Void and really love it, but would like to use GUI for xbps! Unfortunately I can't google any solution for that...

@AngryPhantom : Just install octoxbps and kdesu and use the program... it is working.

AngryPhantom commented 4 years ago

@mobinmob Sorry but I'm using XFCE and I don't need one fifth of KDE... Anyway, thank you for response. I guess it's impossible to use this nice GUI tool.

Hi @AngryPhantom You can use git version as upstream does not need kde anymore. It has its own sudo gui tool.

@aarnt Thank you. Well, they say "You'll need "git" and "qt5" packages in order to get latest dev version":

sudo xbps-install qt5-devel nvidia340-340.108_3: broken, unresolvable shlib `libnvidia-ml.so.1' Transaction aborted due to unresolved shlibs.

Fresh Void install with XFCE + nvidia340

@AngryPhantom Maybe you have to try just qt5 not the devel pkg.

mobinmob commented 4 years ago

@aarnt: Making a release will be really nice. I have a working template locally for current master but I cannot submit a PR as it will not be accepted without a release.

AngryPhantom commented 4 years ago

@aarnt That's what is already installed. Probably when I installed qt5ct (for Qt Apps to look like Gtk): Then I installed qt5-qmake as required to compile octoxbps.

Anyway, I've also posted an issue on Void Linux github.

AngryPhantom commented 4 years ago

Looks like there is a problem in Void's metapackages.
