MX Service Manager : keep asking root password and exit [Solved]

[siamhie]

Thanks @Adrian
25.08.04 solved the issue on my end. I'll let others report back if the update worked for them.

Thanks @Adrian for the quick response and update.
Just installed it, seems to work fine now.

Thanks for confirming, actually I release a .05 which doesn't need those dependencies, I was using them for convenience mostly because jq is very small and also because awk is on most of the systems but why use them if there's no need.

I am also thinking to remove that tooltip when hovering over the items, it's not terrible useful and sometime the writing gets mangled. Any opinions?

@Adrian .05 is broken. Program won't launch at all now.
.04 worked.

mx-service-manager updated today and is broken on my system.
I haven't used it in 2 or3 days and did not have the popup warning before.

Today after the update I get the popup that says:
Administrator Access Required
This operation requires administrator privileges. Please restart the application and enter your password when prompted.

Clicking ok then restarting and same thing happens.
Rebooting didn't fix it.
I apt-purged mx-service-manager and it took mx-apps with it.
Rebooted and installed mx-apps and mx-service-manager and still get the popup.

Sigh... I will fix it. Sorry about this.

@Adrian .06 is working great. No popup authentication windows anymore.

As far as the tooltips go, they seem to display just fine on my end.

Thanks for the confirmation, sorry for the back and forth with this one.
