Fresh Tumbleweed install brings up a password popup window for EVERYTHING

English Applications

I installed Tumbleweed on a new laptop and it asks for a password when I’m doing ANYTHING
Need to change brightness? Pop up window asking asking for a password
Trying to install something in terminal? Secondary popup window asking for a password
I have no clue what causes this and I havent even gotten to nvidia drivers yet

Are you using KDE Plasma?

4

no, I use XFCE

Ok, i thought it could be related to kwallet’s password prompt. This can happen sometimes when one chooses to login automatically

Looks similar to Xfce terminal authentication

Is run0-wrappers installed? If so, uninstall it and install pkexec instead.
Similar to xfce desktop: popup asking for root privileges on each login
