Description Henning 2023-12-06 02:42:44 UTC
the desktop entry does not work as it requires sudo permissions.

An easy fix is to add "pkexec" in front of the Exec= line.

Please implement this fix in the desktop entry to make it work on GUI systems. On Wayland it is not even possible to run graphically as root, so this is necessary.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
run the desktop entry
Actual Results:  
does not run

Expected Results:  
use pkexec to get root privileges
