Musl - Fail to authenticate

  • Quote

Post by Fulgurance » Sun Sep 14, 2025 10:06 am

Hi guys, as some know, I am coding a new package manager for Linux and I am working on a new Linux distribution.

Recently, I managed to build the system with the MUSL libc, but I am facing a problem to authenticate when I try to login, with sddm or via the tty, same problem.

I checked the /var/log/auth.log file, and I have this errors (I took a screenshot of the virtual machine under I perform the tests):

Someone know if maybe a patch is required to authenticate when using musl libc ? Or it should work ?

Basically, even I type the right password, the authentification fail

polkitd is trying to access directories whose names contain come control characters. This is unusual.
I don't know too much about polkit, but I'd suspect you cannot login because your login program asks polkit if you're allowed to. There's probably some rules defined in the directories polkitd should have tried to access which allow you to log in.
So I'd first check polkit' configuration files if those have invalid (non-existent) paths defined.

Does polkit have any configuration files where you can define the rule directories?

Code: Select all

qlist polkit | grep ^/etc/
... would list all of them in Gentoo.
