Fresh installation(with fluxbox), pkexec error

[dancaer69]

Hello,
I just installed siduction(X iso) and apps which need to run as root not launching. If I try to run from terminal with:
synaptic-pkexec (for example)
I get the error:

Code Auswählen Erweitern

polkit-agent-helper-1: error response to PolicyKit daemon: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: No session for cookie
after I input the password.

mh, maybe you need to add the $user to the 'sudo' group.

Code Auswählen Erweitern

adduser <username> sudo

You have to do it as root.

No, that didn't make any difference. I already edited sudoers via visudo and added user there.
But I installed lxpolkit and add it to fluxbox's startup script and this solve it.

Strange, okay, I didn't install the xorg-iso, but i have done a test booted the xorg-iso with qemu (vm), no modifications nothing, no full upgrade or install.
Started synaptic-pkexec via terminal, no problem at all.
Sorry ,I do not have enough hardware to install it on bare metal.

I'm writing from live iso now and I tried to open synaptics which started immediately without authentication window. So seems that siduser is pre-configured to have root rights. This doesn't happen with a normal user though, so a polkit agent needed.
