Root's got its own KDE configuration, so you need to run systemsettings5 as root and change its appearance there. I suggest something shockingly garish to remind you that you're root.

Thanks for pointing this out.stevepusser wrote:I got deepin-deb-installer to work on MX 19 alpha, so we can use that if we can't figure out the gdebi issue. It only pulls in a couple extra megabytes of packages.

For me, in Debian 10 Buster 64 bit XFCE, with XFCE 4.14 through MX backports, Gdebi launches but doesn't work.
I had to use dpkg -i from terminal.

It's the same issue with gdebi in Debian that the whole thread has been about from the start! Unless you want to emphasize that it's not fixed...

Well, that's interesting. The exact opposite of what everybody else seems to have experienced.
Maybe you could share what you've done to make this work.

This is what I did:
1. Created file 'gdebi-pkexec' in /usr/bin with following contents:
2. Modified /usr/share/applications/gdebi.desktop file (only line which starts with Exec=)
Works fine
1. Created file 'gdebi-pkexec' in /usr/bin with following contents:
Code: Select all
pkexec gdebi-gtk $1
Code: Select all
Exec=gdebi-pkexec %f

I had to enter the OS (not User) password. Then it installed.

On XFCE gdebi works fine if you start it from the menu, but crashes if started by right clicking on a .deb file.
On KDE it won't start at all.
Didn't know it would work if you run gdebi from the start menu.
I've been installing debs from the command line but I prefer right clicking the deb file myself.
Thanks for the tip!

I was having problems with gdebi and read this post. Works on my XFCE installation as you have described. Thanks.NFT5 wrote:I have two Buster installations.
