Kali 2020.1 XFCE. Unable to start any program from gui that requires root privilege. Synaptic just do not start. Firewall-applet just say unable to communicate. It starts fine from cli. @kalilinux #kali #kalilinux #linux

I just installed Kali weekly release (2020.1) with KDE and XFCE and all things seems to work very fine. But one thing with XFCE is that when I try to start things fron XFCE that use root permission it wont work. Strange errors or the applications just do nothing.

gksu is no longer availble
pkexec dont work for me yet

But when I install this package, pkexec start to work and all the applications that failed before starts working.

sudo apt-get install policykit-1-gnome
