For example, when I launch the Software Manager (mintinstall) -- from either the auto-generated OB menu or the static menu item I created -- the app opens and I can search/navigate. But when I try to install a package, it starts the process and even tells me what dependencies are needed. But then it stops and the install button resets back to green again. The command I'm using from my static menu entry is pkexec mintinstall, but I've also tried a menu item that invokes mintinstall through a terminal using gnome-terminal -- sudo mintinstall. Neither work.
When I run the same commands directly through the terminal I get the following messages:
- -- I'm prompted for a password but then it says there was an error executing the command as another user, and that I'm not authorized. Maybe this output is useful:
Code: Select all
pkexec mintinstall
Code: Select all
polkit-agent-helper-1: error response to PolicyKit daemon: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: No session for cookie
- -- I'm prompted for a password, but it tells me "The software manager should not be run as root. Please run it in user mode."
Code: Select all
sudo mintinstall
