How to ask for root password from the user for my GUI app?
by yashasnadigsyn from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6JHB7)
Hello, I was learning rust. I am building a simple GUI application that scrapes through aur and install a package. I am using tauri for GUI.
So, to install an aur application, I will run `makepkg -si` inside the package directory.
But, it asks for root password in the middle of installing.
After searching web, I came to know, I can use pkexec to ask password graphically but pkexec is like using sudo and running makepkg as sudo is not allowed.
Any idea what should i do? Is there any articles where i can look into it?
