update-aurto fails silently #55

Closed manolomartinez closed 3 years ago

manolomartinez commented 3 years ago

Hi, aurto is failing to update. It seems to have something to do with sudo requiring a password---which I would have thought was the normal behavior, but seeing as if aurto was expecting something else to happen, I'm not so sure.

This is the output of systemctl status update-aurto:

● update-aurto.service - Updates 'aurto' repo
       Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/update-aurto.service; static)

See https://github.com/alexheretic/aurto/issues/54#issuecomment-787015485 for an explanation of how aurto is currently using sudo. I.e Perhaps your user is not in the wheel group?

I do aim to improve the wheel thing, see https://github.com/alexheretic/aurto/issues/56

Yep, my user was indeed not in wheel. Thanks!
