Linux: can’t install inline extension updates

Hi, i met the same issue. i can’t install the extension update on linux. how did you manage to get it done?

what exact linux distro are you on @andreas.voraberger ? is the pkexec command available?

Same question for @Cheese

Hi George,

pkexec is available and shows version 124.

i am on Kubuntu 24.04, kernel 6.14.0-33.

cheese is on Ubuntu 25.04

I'm on Ubuntu 25.04 and yes have pkexec installed @George

@AlexandreMoreira

Best thing to do is to create a new Bug Report for the above issue so the team can track it (as this one is marked as resolved).

bugs can occure, and it was fixed outstanding fast. i wouldn’t even have been in trouble if this “inline update” would work. because i clicked it several times after the update before i continued to work. so maybe this should get fixed for linux to avoid some pain. :slight_smile:

Could you run Wappler in debug mode, try to install an inline extension update and then send us the log

@andreas.voraberger and other Linux Users!

George directed me to a fix for the inline updates which I think has worked here on Ubuntu (but I won't know until the next inline update as I updated all of our Projects manually). However I am quite certain this was the issue, which was all to do with permissions, whereby pkexec did not have permission to execute so the below command allows pkexec run with the file owner’s privileges:

sudo chmod +s $(which pkexec)

hi, your command line snipped solved the permission problems. you should somehow alert this if a new person installs the .deb file.

thank you very much. Great support for a great product and great philosophy!
