No. When you launch the program, it initially asks for the password and it then opens.
While idling, a prompt shows up stating administrator privileges are required and selecting OK closes the program.
I don't get that at all. But here are the differences. I'm using the Liquorix 6.9.xxx kernel, XFCE and the Greybird theme. You are using a Xanmod kernel with Fluxbox plus SystemD and @specialk is using KDE with the same Liquorix 6.9.xxx kernel plus SystemD. For reference here is my QSI:

As a test I tried rebooting with SystemD but it had no effect.

Here's what in the syslog for MX Service Manager (problem) and MX Boot options (no problem).
Both require admin password when launching the app.

(Kernel 6.12 AHS doesn't change the issue)

I can't replicate it while booted to sys-V. I launch the program, it asks for password (as usual) and
I let it idle for 3 minutes while moving the mouse around and I never got the popup prompt that I posted in comment #7.

Re: MX Service Manager : keep asking root password and exit

#15 Post by specialk »

The DEBUG output (from console and in syslog) seems "weird".

Code: Select all

DEBUG: Exit code 0 does not match expected elevation error codes
systemctl list-units --type=service --all -o json
edit : I confirm that booting on SysVinit does NOT have the issue. Meanwhile ...

Please post code like this [code]code output here[/code] for better readability.

Or you can select the code and tick the </> button (it's next to the quote)

Thanks.

Re: MX Service Manager : keep asking root password and exit

#17 Post by Adrian »

The "DEBUG: Exit code ... does not match..." should be harmless, but I will remove it because it might be confusing, I don't understand the issue and can't replicate it. The code is actually pretty simple:

Code: Select all

if (asRoot && getuid() != 0) {
        if (exitCode() == EXIT_CODE_PERMISSION_DENIED || exitCode() == EXIT_CODE_COMMAND_NOT_FOUND) {
            handleElevationError();
        } else {
            qDebug() << "DEBUG: Exit code" << exitCode() << "does not match expected elevation error codes";
        }
    }
That dialog box saying that the app needs admin privileges is triggered by "handleElevatationError()" that is executed only in case the exitCode() == either EXIT_CODE_PERMISSION_DENIED or EXIT_CODE_COMMAND_NOT_FOUND

I guess the program is trying to run a command that either is not found or exits with a code that is the same as "Command not found" -- not sure why is doing that, it doesn't do it for me, I tried both sysvinit and systemd (which I see a number of people who have problems have in QSI)

Can you guys who are having issue run this checks:

type systemctl
file /sbin/service
file /sbin/update-rc.d

I don't think I try to run any other command as root.

It can ask for a second prompt if you wait long enough so the cached authentication expires, but then you just need to enter the root password and if you don't enter it it should close -- which is normal behavior.

Thanks,
Adrian

LOAD   = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB    = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.
206 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too.
To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.
