I’m on Microos Aeons.
I’m trying to install Druide’s Antidote 10 software inside a container (Distrobox).
I have an installation failure which mentions that elevation of privileges is required to allow installation.
So I need the root account to install it. Once installed, the user can use the software.
Do you have any idea how I can access the root account to proceed with the installation?
I have no idea what the software is, or does, but if you need privilege escalation, you probably need to use a rootfull distrobox.
distrobox enter --root
Thanks sfalken, however, I still get the same message…
I have installed this French and English grammar and orthography software on different distros.
The installation sequence is as follows:
- start software installation;
- request root/sudo password
- install.
- First boot, request for software user info and software serial number;
- root/sudo password prompt.
and thereafter, no request for root or other authorization.
shrug Does it work on Tumbleweed and/or Leap?
are you attempting to run it via an exported binary? (i.e. distrobox export --app appname) or just trying to run them from a terminal in your distrobox?
Would probably be helpful to give the actual error text.
This is the message in French: L’elevation de privileges est requise pour permettre l’installation
If I translate it is something as: Elevation of privileges is required to allow installation
sfalken, in a terminal which opens a windows for the installation.
I’m completely unfamiliar with this software, but does it provide a .desktop file of some sort?
You might try: sudo ./Installation.bash
Try that without to much luck…
Did you try it in distrobox or in exported binary (in the host)? Did it show the error message in terminal?
I have installed the software that having the installer just like your software inside the distrobox container. When it successfully installed in distrobox, I exported the software from the container to the host using distrobox-export.
