script-server

Hi! Just something I noticed as I'm trying to set up script-server for the first time. Whenever I make a script that uses , I get the following error in the web console output:

Error creating textual authentication agent: Error opening current controlling terminal for the process (/dev/tty'): No such device or address (polkit-error-quark, 0)`

I am on Ubuntu following the instructions in the wiki for running this as a daemon. Any ideas how to make this work?

Thanks!

Hi @ryanovas to be honest, I'm not a linux expert. I found this discussion on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxadmin/comments/dp1mfw/running_a_service_using_ec2user/

Apparently, this error can be caused by an authentication. May be you can specify, under which user to run the daemon, or under su

No worries! Just raising it in case you or someone else knows.

I have some semblance of the issue, I know it's something to do with services (especially root services) not having access to a tty instance(?) to generate an interactive terminal. I know there are some ways to pass it a tty instance but I'm not experienced enough with that level of linux admin to know what to do off the top of my head. Perhaps running it as a user will provide one, but then I lose sudo commands like restarting the server.

I will continue to investigate when I can, and will report back my findings or perhaps someone else will happen upon this issue.

Thank you!
