sudo error when using the plugin the first time #3

Closed theScrabi closed 3 years ago

theScrabi commented 5 years ago

The first time I used this plugin i got this error:

error t=2019-08-12T12:22:18Z Failed toggling WireGuard interface

Error details:
sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified

grafik

Could you please add a description in your github README.md on how to fix this error?

jhedd commented 5 years ago

Same issue here. Also, the applet has no icon

nicoulaj commented 5 years ago

Could you test if 623e4e0 solves the issue ? Just clone the project and run make install reload to deploy the version with the fix.

(also, the icon issue is already tracked in #2)

Hm it first asked me to install polib:

> make install reload                       132ms  Fr 20 Sep 2019 21:57:58 CEST

Module "polib" not available.

You will need to install this module using your distribution's package manager
(in debian-based syatems "apt-get install python3-polib")

21:58:06: installed extension to ~/.local/share/cinnamon/applets

After installed, run and selected my wg0 it shew me this: grafik

Not what I expected :)

What distro are you running ? It looks like sudo doesn't recognize the --askpass option. What is the output of sudo --version ?

Thanks for testing

Wait ... this error aboth appeared after I fiddled around in the code. This was the error that appeared before I lay hand on it: grafik

Translation: sudo: No "askpass"-Programm entered, it will be tried to set SUDO_ASKPASS

sudo --version                             
Sudo-Version 1.8.21p2
Sudoers-Policy-Plugin Version 1.8.21p2
sudoers-Dateigrammatik Version 46
Sudoers I/O plugin version 1.8.21p2

Ah yes I might have issues with my sudo :/

sudo --askpass ls                       
sudo: pkexec konnte nicht ausgeführt werden: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

This means translated sudo: pkexec could not be executed: File or directory could not be found I found this weird as pkexec is installed, and if I execute it directly it works.

This should not be using sudo but rather pkexec - see #4
