password configuration

[manair 0]

Hi,
Does anyone know why eddie needs to pop up the password window in a virtualbox vm (I tried every config possible) whereas it doesn't in the host ?
No that it bothers me, just try to understand the underlying logic.
Thanks.

Are you using the same Eddie version?
Host/guest OS?
In Preferences > General, is Don't ask elevation every run ticked?

hi,
No, host is fedora and guest is debian.
Preferences > General, is Don't ask elevation every run  : is ticked
May I guess that according to you it shouldn't behave like this ?

I think there's your difference, they're two different worlds. I bet a RHEL, SLES or Arch will also work straight away.

No.
On Debian, provided that the checkbox is checked, can you see whether /lib/systemd/user/system/eddie-elevated.service exists?

if [ -e /usr/lib/systemd/system/eddie-elevated.service ]; then echo "Yes"; else echo "No"; fi

Hi !
I'm running ubuntu 20.04.1 version and Eddie client 2.18.9 and I don't have the option box "Preferences > General, is Don't ask elevation every run".

When I run this : if [ -e /usr/lib/systemd/system/eddie-elevated.service ]; then echo "Yes"; else echo "No"; fi
The answer is No.

So what to do with this and stop the pop up password window ?

Thanks
