Repporting a bug

[SpongeBOB]

Hi,

I might spotted a bug in the install process of MX-23.6

in the gui of the installer I've unchecked sudo

but it get installed anyway... :/

I've look in https://bugs.mxlinux.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=sudo but didn't find an open bug report about it. So I'm planning to do so, I guess it use another user account than this forum right ?

but is the sudod service enabled?

the services tab doesn't uninstall anything, just enabled/disables the service. I've never actually disabled sudo, so there could still be a bug...

no, you seem right !

Code: Select all

# service --status-all
[ - ] sudo

# service sudo status
# 

but it's weird when I need to do something that require more privileges , like MX Tweaks --> Other [ ] Enable Bluetooth adapter on boot it accept my user password !

That's a different issue, I think mx-tweaks has an option to select what kind of authentication you use "root" or "user with sudo".

sudo doesn't need sudo service... from what I could gather:

On some systems (e.g. Debian-based), sudo service under SysVinit manages the sudo plugin service that supports things like:

- Timestamp cleanup (via sudo --reset-timestamp)

- Session management for sudo via PAM

- Auditing or logging enhancements

However, it's not required for basic sudo to work. It's optional and mostly legacy.

Thanks @Adrian,

Hoo I didn't notice ( in MX Tweak -> Other )

Password for administrative tasks: [X] Users [ ] Root

and actually this option use sudo ! (recommendation for MX: tooltip that say that the mechanism used is sudo, could be good )

For other noob like me, when the window Authenticate appear, if it need the root user, it will be written

... as the super user ...

Otherwise

... Authentication is required to perf...

its the sudo group, not sudo itself. the graphical authentications are all policykit.
