when I try to stop, or restart wings, I get this error

Failed to stop wings.service: The name org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1 was not provided by any .service files
See system logs and 'systemctl status wings.service' for details.

the bot told me to restart wings but I get the error when I do that as well.

Simple! 😘

systemctl restart wings

Debian/Ubuntu: apt install sos
Fedora/Alma/Rocky/RHEL: dnf install sos

Then run sos report --clean and upload the file it generates so we can review it.

#

I'm a bit confused as to why you're getting cucked by polkit.

If you're on Ubuntu, then go ahead and run sudo apt install sos, then once the package is installed run sudo sos report --clean. It will give you a file, you'll need to copy it to your home folder then download it from your server to upload here.

kindred dawn
#

ok

#

it said it was unable to that package

neat ridge
#

Can you show me a screenshot?

kindred dawn
neat ridge
#

Oh, try sudo apt install sosreport

#

My bad.

kindred dawn
#

ok that worked

neat ridge
#

Cool beans, and the other command is working as well?

kindred dawn
#

no

neat ridge
#

What's it saying?

kindred dawn
#

it says command not found

neat ridge
#

What release of Ubuntu is this?

#

cat /etc/os-release should tell you if you aren't sure.

kindred dawn
#

18.04

neat ridge
#

Ah, that's why.

#

Try sosreport instead.

#

Ignore the --clean part.

kindred dawn
#

ok

neat ridge
#

Oh, make sure you use sudo with it or else it won't work properly: sudo sosreport

kindred dawn
#

it said command not found, I also found an error message in the install of the sosreport package

neat ridge
#

Show me that error?

kindred dawn
neat ridge
#

Oh, that's a quick fix

#

sudo apt update && sudo apt install sosreport

kindred dawn
#

ok that did a bunch and I dont see any errors in it

neat ridge
#

That's good, try running sudo sosreport now.

#

If it asks for a case number, just hit enter.

kindred dawn
#

ok it started

neat ridge
#

Cool beans, it'll take a few minutes.

kindred dawn
#

what does this tell us?

neat ridge
#

It just gathers a bunch of logs and debugging information, I wouldn't normally need this but something weird is going on with systemd and policykit.

kindred dawn
#

ok lol

#

ok its done how do I download

neat ridge
#

Did it give you the path to the file?

kindred dawn
#

yes

neat ridge
#

sudo mv /path/to/file ~

#

Then download it using Filezilla or however you normally pull off files.

kindred dawn
#

the command didnt give me any feedback

#

is that normal?

neat ridge
#

That's fine, it just moved it to your home folder.

#

Yep!

kindred dawn
#

this might sound weird but how do I conect FileZilla to the server to get that file

neat ridge
#

Oh, you've never downloaded a file off your server before?

kindred dawn
#

I had an admin to do this all for me tell now

#

so no

neat ridge
#

Oh, no worries.

#

Are you on Windows 10?

kindred dawn
#

yes

#

I have file zella

#

already

neat ridge
#

You see the row of text boxes up top, right?

kindred dawn
#

yea

#

do I put in the servers ip and use my ssh login?

neat ridge
#

Yeah, but prefix the server IP with sftp:// or else it will try to use FTP instead.

kindred dawn
#

ok

neat ridge
#

Did FileZilla get you connected okay?

kindred dawn
#

dont think so

#

yea it timed out

neat ridge
#

You put your server in like this, right? sftp://12.34.56.78

kindred dawn
#

yea I put the wrong ip

neat ridge
#

Ah, that'll do it lol

kindred dawn
#

it has several ips kinda forgot witch one was the main one

neat ridge
#

No worries.

kindred dawn
#

ok got it

neat ridge
#

Cool beans, drag it here, I'll download it and check a few things, I think I know what went wrong.

kindred dawn
#

ok one sec its not leting me drag on drop im going to dowload it and then do it

neat ridge
#

Yeah, you have to download it to your computer then Discord will let you upload it.

kindred dawn
#

idk what would be doing that

neat ridge
#

On the server, run sudo chown myusername ~/sosreport-* replacing myusername with whatever your username is.

#

Then try downloading it again.

kindred dawn
#

ok

neat ridge
#

It shouldn't give any output if it worked properly.

kindred dawn
#

ok

#

thats it

#

sending\

neat ridge
#

Looking now.

#

@kindred dawn When restarting wings, did you use sudo? sudo systemctl restart wings

kindred dawn
#

pretty sure I did

neat ridge
#

Run history | grep systemctl | tail -n 10

#

That'll tell you if you did or not.

kindred dawn
#

I didn't not that I look at command logs

#

I did not do it with sudo

#

when i did it worked

neat ridge
#

Ah, yep, that's what I suspected.

#

You're good now?

kindred dawn
#

yea thanks man
