While installing I correctly get prompted graphically with a debconf question. ** Tags removed: verification-needed verification-needed-jammy verification-needed-noble ** Tags added: verification-done verification-done-jammy verification-done-noble -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to packagekit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2086773 Title: pkcon does not ask debconf questions in Wayland Status in packagekit package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in packagekit source package in Jammy: Fix Committed Status in packagekit source package in Noble: Fix Committed Status in packagekit source package in Oracular: Fix Committed Bug description: [ Impact ] `pkcon` is configured to launch the Gtk debconf helper to ask debconf questions graphically. This works in Xorg desktop sessions, but does not work in Wayland desktop sessions. That is because it starts the Gtk program with a blank environment and only adds the DISPLAY environment variable, but not WAYLAND_DISPLAY nor XAUTHORITY which would at least have allowed it to display over XWayland. This is fixed by exposing the WAYLAND_DISPLAY and/or XAUTHORITY environment variables to the Gtk program. [ Test Case ] 1. Log-in to a Wayland desktop session 2. Download `noisy-fake-driver_0.6_amd64.deb` from the attachments. 3. Run `pkcon install-local ~/Downloads/noisy-fake-driver_0.6_amd64.deb` 4. Complete the installation 5. Verify that you saw the "Do you see this message?" question [ Where problems could occur ] It's fair to assume that the graphical debconf helper hasn't received much testing recently, with `apt` defaulting to the text-base helper and `pkcon` failing to show it in Wayland; so it's possible that it doesn't work well.
