[Bug 1885615] Re: Unable to launch Qt-based application using pkexec

 

The applications in this bug do not have related files in
/usr/share/polkit-1/actions . So this behavior is expected.

** Changed in: policykit-1 (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid

** Changed in: qtbase-opensource-src (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid

Title:
  Unable to launch Qt-based application using pkexec

Status in policykit-1 package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in qtbase-opensource-src package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Have Ubuntu 20.04 LTS installed
  2. Login to Plasma session
  3. Try to execute Kubuntu Device Drivers application using

      pkexec kubuntu-driver-manager

  Expected results:
  * application launched normally with root rights

  Actual results:
  * application crashed with the following output in the terminal - 

  ```
  qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display 
  qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
  This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

  Available platform plugins are: wayland-org.kde.kwin.qpa, dxcb, eglfs,
  linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland,
  wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, xcb.
