(solved) LXDE: MXUpdater & Synaptic do not work [Solved]

[zorzi]

Hello,

I've installed LXDE desktop on MX 18. Some apps needing root rights (like MX Updater and Synaptic) can't work.

I have to launch Synaptic via:

Code: Select all

gksu synaptic

If someone can help.

Thanks.

You probabky need to install lxde-polkit

[zorzi]

"lxpolkit" package, precisely. It works now.

Thanks D_O.

Should I maybe change the policykit-1-gnome dependency to this ( policykit-1-gnome | lxpolkit | polkit-1-auth-agent ) ?

Code: Select all

Package: apt-notifier
Architecture: all
Depends: ${misc:Depends}, anacron, apt, bash (>= 3.2-4), gtkdialog,
 policykit-1-gnome | lxpolkit | polkit-1-auth-agent, python-pyqt5,
 synaptic,  xdotool, xfce4-terminal | x-terminal-emulator,
 yad (>= 0.26), unattended-upgrades
Conflicts: mepis-aptnotify
Replaces: mepis-aptnotify 
Description: tray applet to notify of system and application updates

In addition to policykit-1-gnome and lxpolkit, gnome-flashback, gnome-shell, lxqt-policykit, mate-polkit & polkit-kde-agent-1 are also providers of the virtual package `polkit-1-auth-agent' in Stretch & Buster. (https://packages.debian.org/buster/polkit-1-auth-agent)
