Plasma from scratch - Impossible to change users settings

[Fulgurance]

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: Select all

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/d ... hunks.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 ?

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..

Code: Select all

org.kde.kcm_users: "The name org.freedesktop.Accounts was not provided by any .service files"

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).

[Fulgurance]

Oh thanks a lot !!! I don't know why they didn't mention that. This package is mandatory definitely.

So I tried with the accountsservice package, but it doesn't fix the problem.

I have this error:

Code: Select all

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?

[Fulgurance]

I think we talk about this file:

Code: Select all

ls -la /usr/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper
--w---xrwT 1 root messagebus 97400 Jun 30 07:45 /usr/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper

[Fulgurance]

No idea ?

[CooSee]

is this your issue https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/4934

ls -la /usr/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper

Code: Select all

-rws--x--- 1 root messagebus 60736 Mai 16 00:49 /usr/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper

[Hu]

No idea ?

My idea was to correct the permissions and repeat the test. Your existing permissions look very wrong. Among other things, it is not even setuid, despite being described as a setuid helper.

[Fulgurance]

Yeah, I saw I need to fix some permissions issues. Anyway, I will update the database soon, I will be careful with the permissions

[Fulgurance]

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 ?

[Fulgurance]

Hi, sorry I come back to this topic, because I tried to fix the problem by setting the permission properly like that:

Code: Select all

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: Select all

file://usr/share/kpackage/kcms/kcm_users/contents/ui/UserDetailsPage.qml:296 TypeError : Cannot read property 'realName' of null

[Fulgurance]

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.
