the "Too late to run INIT block at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.22.2/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Glib/Object/Introspection.pm line 257." message is unrelated.
Please open a (separate) terminal/konsole, become root and, before reproducing this issue, run
journalctl -f > log.txt
and let it run until you reproduced it.
After that, attach log.txt to this bug report.Keywords:

NEEDINFO I had the same issue, but after the latest updates coming in, it worked as expected. My workaround was to "sudo drakconf" *shrugs* Cheers, Stig CC:

MCC Journal log.txt info
I uploaded the log.txt file after running mcc in a terminal. Stig-Ørjan Smelror, I am updated as of Sunday. I'm not seeing any new updates as of this entry. Thanks. Now I just tested again with a different user and see something odd. I have three users for Mga6: saptech = first & main user, running Plasma5 since March '17. debbie = second user, running Mate, which I installed Sunday. speden = third user. Since I've noticed this MCC issue. I just Switched User to debbie with Mate. I typed mcc in a terminal and the sign in box appeared and it asked for the superuser speden password, after typing in the password, mcc opens as normal. This also works using GUI icon. When I'm working as saptech, the mcc sign in box doesn't mention anything about superuser, it just ask show "password" to authenticate. Using saptech with Plasma, I do not see the update notification but using debbie and running mcc, I chose the update system option and have some newer updates. I'll see what happens after the updates are ran. I just tested again running saptech with Mate. MCC again asked for user speden password to authenticate, after typing the password in, mcc opens and run with no issues. Putting in root & saptech passwords does not work. I just installed Mate yesterday (Sunday) and ran saptech using Mate today to test mcc. This is very weird since saptech is the only user included in the /etc/sudoers file. I can confirm this issue in plasma. (without sudo installed) This is what I have installed using the kernel.org mirror. $ rpm -qa | grep drakconf drakconf-13.16-1.mga6 drakconf-icons-13.16-1.mga6 I see that you're referring to version 13.15. I, too, am in the sudoers file. I guess with the latest updates, drakconf is using the latest one. $ rpm -qa | grep drakconf drakconf-13.16-1.mga6 drakconf-icons-13.16-1.mga6 Opening a terminal and typing "su -" and typing in root's password, mcc does open normally. That's not a drakconf issue but an issue with whatever polkit agent you're using. Source RPM:

That is the password that works instead of root's password. Should it be root instead of speden? If so, how can I change it? The current user as of this entry is logged in as saptech, my main user. What I've found out from alf in the mga's forums, if a user is in the wheel group then mcc will ask for that user's password. The three users I have, speden is the only one in the wheel group. What happens if I remove the wheel group, will mcc want root's password? I guess it solves the problem I'm having anyway.

Did you try? > > I guess it solves the problem I'm having anyway. I doubt this bug is still valid for anyone. Is it? This bug was filed against Mageia 6 which is EOL since Sep 2019.
