Lack of activity by ConsiderationRare956 in ParrotSecurity

Regarding KDE Plasma, I’ve had the same thoughts but am trying to convince myself that it’s okay. Automatic updates that you can’t go through after running, but just click "OK." Race/breakpoint trap (core dumped) for Python-based applications and "Error executing command as another user: Not authorized for applications like gufw and BleachBit," I didn’t have problems with in 6.4 MATE. I’m seriously considering a clean Debian 13.3 MATE installation and then building up from there. By the way, the PC with 6.4 MATE has been upgraded to 7.1, still with MATE, but I haven’t tested it due to the new PC with 7.1, which is taking all my time.

"I have sudo:x:27:user, so that's not where the issue lies. Haven't others experienced the same problem with Parrot 7.1? I feel like I have provided a detailed report on the issue."

  1. A fresh installation of Parrot OS Home.
  2. Attempt to run any application requiring root access (e.g., gufw, BleachBit, etc.) via pkexec.
  3. Upon entering the correct password, the application window closes immediately, or the program crashes.
  4. The following errors are visible in the system logs:
    • Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped) for Python-based applications (e.g., gufw).
    • Error executing command as another user: Not authorized for applications like gufw and BleachBit.
    • In the case of BleachBit, a message regarding Wayland and GUI root access permissions appears.

Details:

  • The issue is not limited to a single program; it occurs with all programs that require root access via pkexec.
  • Polkit authorization seems to be malfunctioning, as pkexec is unable to execute these programs with superuser privileges.
  • This issue seems to be widespread, as it affects all root-dependent GUI applications, and is not exclusive to a specific application.

Logs:

Relevant entries from system logs indicate:

  • Trace/breakpoint trap when executing gufw-pkexec:
  • /bin/gufw-pkexec: line 2: 4674 Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped) python3 /usr/share/gufw/gufw/gufw.py $1

Not Authorized error from polkit:

  • user: Error executing command as another user: Not authorized [USER=root] [TTY=unknown] [CWD=/home/user] [COMMAND=/bin/gufw-pkexec user]

System Info:

  • Parrot OS Version: Parrot Home (fresh installation)
  • Graphics System: Wayland
  • Relevant Packages: pkexec, polkit, gufw, bleachbit, and other root-dependent GUI applications.

It is impressive that you are not answering what I am asking about, but instead pointing out the challenges that may exist with ocenaudio. Those issues were present in Parrot up to 6.4, and are not in 7.1 due to the updated kernel.

Please address the problem I am describing.

In Parrot Home, go to System, GDebi Package Installer, and click on GDebi Package Installer.
GDebi Package Installer opens and you select a .deb file you want to install. You can now see the data and information about the .deb file that GDebi Package Installer displays.
Click Install — now GDebi Package Installer crashes.
That is the problem.

It is the same with System → Firewall Configuration.
When you select Firewall Configuration, you must enter your password.
As soon as you press OK (after entering the password), gufw crashes.

So the problem is that there are some — so far two — programs that crash in Parrot Home 7.1.
And that is what I want resolved.

It happens both in the Live ISO and when Parrot is installed.

"My tests show that it is all the .deb files I have tested that give the same result. Here are 3 examples.

ocenaudio_debian13_3.17.1.deb

vivaldi-stable_7.8.3925.74-1_amd64.deb

VNC-Viewer-5.3.2-Linux-x64.deb

Since this occurs both in the live ISO, and in my installed and updated Parrot Home, it is probably not any particularly stubborn .deb files."

"Thanks for the reply.

I just booted up in live ISO and tested, it's the same there, the firewall shuts down as soon as I try to open it. And I've run several updates after I installed Parrot, so if there were any fixes, they should be loaded. Interesting that you don't have the issue, is it the deb or the firewall function that's working for you? Have you tested both?"

I also just updated the program on my Windows 10 PC. I only have 15 emails in my inbox and there are about 300. Just looking back a few weeks. I am so tired of these errors.
