|
|
Hi, sorry I am coming today to you, because I am building actually a Linux system fully from scratch. And I am facing a problem with my plasma installation.
When I go to the settings (graphically), no user are listed, and it's impossible to add user.
If I start systemsetting from the terminal, I have errors like that:
Code: | TypeError: Cannot read property 'realName' of null
org.kde.kcm_users: "The name org.freedesktop.Accounts was not provided by any .service files" |
I follow the https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/downloads/11.0/BLFS-BOOK-11.0-nochunks.html book.
I use the 5.22.4 version of plasma-desktop.
I am using Openrc.
I suspect maybe a problem with polkit, but I am not an expert with polkit
Somebody is able to help me ? _________________ My actual project: https://github.com/Fulgurance/ISM

I suggest you consult KDE Plasma upstream, the BLFS people, or consult how we handle packaging. It's almost as if distros do certain things for a reason..  |

This one, at least, means that you don't have program accounts-daemon and its accompanying D-Bus .service file from package accountsservice (sys-apps/accountsservice on Gentoo). _________________

So I tried with the accountsservice package, but it doesn't fix the problem.
I have this error:
Code: | org.kde.kcm_users: The permission of the setuid helper is not correct |

What are the current permissions on the setuid helper? If you correct them, does it work better? |

I think we talk about this file:
Code: |
ls -la /usr/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper
--w---xrwT 1 root messagebus 97400 Jun 30 07:45 /usr/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper |

Hi, I come back after a while. I almost finished to implement the main functionalities of my package manager now, I focus now to stable it.
I was thinking to code a function to make sure the installed files have always permissions set properly.
So then my question is: do you know with the FHS if there is a normal standard for the rights and permissions for the default dirs ?
About setuid, even LFS book say to setuid, so it's not recommended ? _________________ My actual project: https://github.com/Fulgurance/ISM

Hi, sorry I come back to this topic, because I tried to fix the problem by setting the permission properly like that:
Code: | sudo chmod u+s /usr/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper |
It was working in a previous VM I did. Then I updated my installation script process, and tried a new installation again to see if now it fix properly the problem. But now, even I fixed that, again users doesn't appear in the systemsetting.
And when I execute systemsettings in a terminal, it don't mention any specific problem.
Do you think maybe there is something missing ? What can I inspect then ?
Now I have this kind of errors:
Code: | file://usr/share/kpackage/kcms/kcm_users/contents/ui/UserDetailsPage.qml:296 TypeError : Cannot read property 'realName' of null |

The thing strange is, if I try to create new user by the interface, even the systemsettings doesn't show any user, it create a new one if I use the interface to create new one. _________________ My actual project: https://github.com/Fulgurance/ISM
