Ubuntu Password pop-up at startup

Recommended Posts

Hi !
I'm running ubuntu 20.04.1 version and Eddie client 2.18.9 and when Eddie start it's asking the password of my Linux account.
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

Hi !
Unfortunately it doesn't work. Maybe a lack of understanding from me ...
This command : "curl -sSfL https://eddie.website/temp/eddie-elevated.service | sudo tee /usr/lib/systemd/system/eddie-elevated.service && sudo systemctl daemon-reload" works as well but in /usr/lib/systemd/system/  the "system" doesn't exist nor the eddie-elevated.service. Maybe do I have to create them ?

The sudo tee part of that command does this. Anyway, it's strange that the system directory does not exist in /usr/lib/systemd, it's a "standardized" directory referred to in the systemd manual.
Can you check if /etc/systemd/system/ exists?

$ if [ -d /etc/systemd/system ]; then echo "directory exists"; else echo "directory does not exist"; fi


Then, I've found some AskUbuntu threads referring to /etc/init.d/ for some reason. The netplan.service unit file is supposed to be there. Can you check that, too?

$ if [ /etc/init.d/netplan.service ]; then echo "netplan.service exists"; else echo "netplan.service does not exist"; fi

Okay, then:

curl -sSfL https://eddie.website/temp/eddie-elevated.service | sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/eddie-elevated.service && sudo systemctl daemon-reload

It works. Just the content of this file "https://eddie.website/temp/eddie-elevated.service"  misses the part in red of the command. Just add it manually.
ExecStart="/usr/lib/eddie-ui/eddie-cli-elevated" "mode=service" "service_port=9349" "integrity=9a73cdcc82a2eccddad864d7fd724436cf3e8471193331c688ab4029495e97db;2ef37de822eb32e1ffcb71188ed5364b60cbcbf023bf1b556d1dd0a0f139bf5d;fb26d285d57eccaa317041bd72b10b8bc8415bd59232757502f767e2f0eea248;303454f883f16452316263bdb1c64edb0aa9acc7ee80d770f14c4814cbbeb412;9b0eb5d148c47b11105d89037911420472ddc9c116670ccab0a2fea390d8caef;3651f463add1ee79a852d5608755c92a30340be264235e4f910593163363b86e;83a4ad64277a182872e53136074c9396637d061dd863e18407ca902417be3f74;"
After that, just have to enable the service (systemctl enable eddie-elevated.Service) and start it (systemctl start eddie-elevated.service). Then run systemctl daemon -reload.

Thanks (a lot) ;))

First time I'm seeing this. Are you absolutely sure? Where did you get the red part to add?

Hi !
Here I'm again.
It works some days and after ask me again for the password in a prompt window. So I decided to let it down ... until today.
I try with the 2.19.7 version and have the same matter.
Then I try with the 2.18.9 version and it doesn't ask me the password.
Very strange isn't it ?
