command errors with certain su frontends #7

Closed Quantroup closed 4 years ago

Quantroup commented 4 years ago

Problem: When trying to refresh databases, update or anything that requires su or sudo access; some su frontends (lxqt-sudo in this instance) instead of running the program it uses the bash exec command, causing an error

bash: line 0: exec: xbps-install -Syy: not found

How to replicate: using the lxqt-sudo package as a frontend for su, refresh databases or install updates

Misc. information: OctoXBPS - 0.2.2 (Qt 5.11.3)

XBPS: 0.59.1 API: 20200221 GIT: UNSET

@Quantroup If you could, please use upstream code. There is an "embedded" sudo tool now called "octoxbps-sudo".

Vistaus commented 2 years ago

The tool doesn't seem to have been added as Octoxbps reports that it can't find it. The compilation output doesn't show any errors whatsoever.

The contents of the octoxbps-package are the following:

/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/49-nopasswd_limited_xbps_install_sync.rules
/usr/bin/octoxbps
/usr/bin/octoxbps-notifier
/usr/lib/octoxbps/octoxbps-sudo
/usr/share/applications/octoxbps-notifier.desktop
/usr/share/applications/octoxbps.desktop
/usr/share/icons/octopi.png
/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.policykit.pkexec.run-xbpsinstall.policy

octoxbps-sudo is there :)
