Freshly installed Debian 12, June 28, 2023. I can reproduce this on Arch Reassigning product to apper Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.6 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.107.0 Qt Version: 5.15.10 Graphics Platform: Wayland *** Bug 468558 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 447142 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Similar issue in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=472145 where again packagekit fails to invoke the polkit password dialog There's a workaround from Reddit that lets run and use Apper almost as usual: In the KDE app-launcher menu, right click Apper. Then click "Edit Application" in the context menu. Go to the "Application" tab. Click on "Advanced Options". Then, tick/check the box saying "Run as different user". In the text field just below, type "root'. Now, starting Apper will ask root permissions when you start it. Encountered this bug trying to install dh-dkms via apper on Debian12. Also, how is it that a bug that totally prevents apper from working is only "importance: normal"? This bug, all by itself, pretty much renders Debian a non-option for anyone who's not comfortable with apt-get on the command line. Also, also, does the fix (https://invent.kde.org/network/kdenetwork-filesharing/-/merge_requests/47/diffs) for 472145 apply here? Could it really be that simple? thank you it work good |
