ANSWERED Unable to Escalate Privileges error

[f7b0b0ca 0]

I apologize if this has been answered before, I've seen a few threads with similar issues but for different setups and haven't been able to resolve the issue.

The full error is: Unable to escalate privileges (required): ApplicationName='pkexec', Command line='"/usr/lib/eddie-ui/eddie-cli-escilated" mode=spot spot_port=[port] service_port=[port]', CurrentDirectory='', Native error= Cannot find the specified file.

I'm on a new installation of Debian Bookworm using Eddie version 2.21.8. I've tried rebooting, reinstalling, launching from the desktop environment, launching from the terminal without privileges, launched from the terminal with Sudo, and launching from the terminal as root.

I'm pretty much out of ideas here, and would really like to get it working. I didn't have any issues in Bullseye, not sure if it'd be that or something else.

Thanks

Please open a terminal and report the output of commands:
 

which pkexec

and

ls -ls /usr/lib/eddie-ui/*

thanks

This is the first time i see a linux without pkexec . Maybe exists and you don't have the access? please report
 

sudo which pkexec

and, in general, if you can gain the root (if your user is in sudo-ers) with
 

sudo -s

thanks

Can confirm pkexec wasn't on my system. It's a pretty new Debian install so unless they don't install it by default I'm unsure why it wouldn't be there (though definitely can't rule out me messing it up somehow).

Wasn't previously aware of what pkexec was, but reading the wiki page on it I can see why it was probably needed. Installed it from the Debian repo it and Eddie is working.

Thanks!

Just wanted to chime in and say that my Debian system didn't have pkexec either and after searching this same error because of it, the issue was resolved by installing it. Perhaps a check for dependencies should be added to the install script?
