Error: Unable to find pkexec or kdesudo with the snap version (OpenSUSE & Solus) #1173

Closed PoorPocketsMcNewHold closed 4 years ago

PoorPocketsMcNewHold commented 5 years ago

Please describe what you were doing when this error happened. Exactly like my previous #1113 issue, but this time, with OpenSUSE. I´m unable to add the command line tools from the ipfs-desktop snap application. (If you ask why i didn´t preffered using the .rpm package, that´s because it require a dependency that doesn´t seems to be available in my system repos (libXtst))

Hello @PoorPocketsMcNewHold! Thanks for reporting this!

The previous issue (#1113) was actually caused by a bug. This one might not be: to enable ipfs on PATH, we need sudo permissions to make changes. For that, we are using sudo-prompt to get a confirmation from the user.

Some Linux distributions might not have the required software for that. It seems sudo-prompt is telling us your system does not have either pkexec, nor kdesudo. Perhaps it's just the "snapped" package that does not have permission to access those files, which might actually consist in a bug.

Can you check if they exist, please?

I'm closing this since I have not gotten a response. Please feel free to reopen this in the future or open a new issue!

PoorPocketsMcNewHold commented 4 years ago

Had this same issue on Solus this time, so I’m taking the liberty to reopen this as I’m encountering this issue once again. And as expected, either pkexec or kdesudo is present (Nor installable) on the system.
