GUI not starting due to missing `pkexec` (Debian 12 KDE) #878

Open watty888 opened 5 months ago

STEPS TO REPRODUCE: 1.Install the package as described in the guide for Debian. The last output of sudo apt install -f ./dist/input-remapper-2.0.1.deb is then: N: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file '/home/watty/input-remapper/dist/input-remapper-2.0.1.deb' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied).

  1. Launch the app -> not starting.

I checked the journalctl -b and found the following stuff in log:

After manually installing pkexec the app launched successfully.

Just FYI.

P.S. If you need any further system information just lemme know.
