So the steps to reproduce this are somewhat unclear, so let me know if I did anything wrong:
1. Boot fresh installation of Lubuntu 20.04 2. Use lxqt-admin-user to create a second user (let's call it user2) 3. Use lxqt-admin-user to add user2 to sudo 4. Logout and back in again (yes, this is a requirement to reproduce— if you want, you can first remove user2's sudo and it will work, but then add it back and continue on) 5. User lxqt-admin-user to try to remove user2's membership in the sudo group (fail) 6. Try running pkexec against something. Since synaptic is well set up for it, this is a good example, so install synaptic and run `synaptic-pkexec` (fail) 7. Remove user2's membership in the sudo group for sure with `sudo usermod -G "" user2` 8. Try running the pkexec command again (success) I did check this also against the adm group and it didn't seem to have an effect. Anyways, I'm pretty sure the error, if anywhere, exists in lxqt- policykit. It's had like almost zero upstream issues, so that's interesting. It's also possible this is a pkexec issue of some kind. It has caused many headaches for folks. I'm updating my machine running off of LXQt's git master and we'll see if it behaves any better. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1875774 Title: Lubuntu 20.04 lxqt-admin-user Action (usermod) failed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxqt-admin/+bug/1875774/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
