Missing pkexec tool

Table of Contents

Description

The pkexec tool may be needed to run commands as root.

 

Resolution

On CrossOver 17 and greater, the simplest solution to fix this issue is to run:

/path/to/cxoffice/bin/cxfix missingpkexec

Or add --show-all to see how CrossOver would fix it on your platform and others.

 

Alternatively you may try one of the commands below.

Arch Linux: pacman -Syu polkit

Debian: apt-get install pkexec

Fedora: yum install polkit

openSUSE 11.2: zypper install polkit

openSUSE 15.5: zypper install pkexec

 

Notes

cxfix --show-all may have more up-to-date fixes.

The commands usually also apply to newer versions of the distributions above as well as derived distributions. So for instance a fix for Debian 7 may still be valid for the latest Debian Testing and is typically also applicable to Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Deepin and Pop! OS. Similarly a fix for Fedora likely also works on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, etc.
