The `PATH` environment variable is hard-code here: https://github.com/freedesktop/polkit/blob/master/src/programs/pkexec.c#L882-L886
We don't have any executable in these paths in guix: ``` /usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/root/bin ``` Replicate the issue: 1. Run the `pkexec` 2. Enter your password 3. run `echo $PATH` in the opened terminal 4. You will see this path: `/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/root/bin` 5. You can't run most of the commands. (`ls`, `passwd`, `chpasswd` and so on.) Expected Behavior: Running all of the commands without any error. Isn't it? Should not we patch the `PATH` environment variable in `pkexec` source codes? Either way, some applications like `lxqt-admin-user` and `lxqt-admin-time` has an issue and they can't run the commands via `pkexec`. I get this error when I want to change user password via `lxqt-admin-user`. It's using `pkexec` to change password. ``` /run/current-system/profile/bin/lxqt-admin-user-helper: line 7: exec: passwd: not found ``` -- Hamzeh Nasajpour PantherX Team
