    I think he wants to run a process with administrative privileges by showing a UAC (User Account Control) dialog. This is what, for example, balenaEtcher does when it needs to burn a drive. Is this correct?

      @kaixoo If you read the OP is under Linux, so there is no such thing as "UAC".

          Torvalds allowed Rust into the kernel (2022) but not C++.

            Don't know what you're saying, but the ability to set or change user privilege has nothing to do with C++ and really little to do with programming.

              It's talk about them, that code must be easy, and user permissions change must be flug also easy.

                If changing user permissions were that easy, it would defeat its purpose.


                If debugging is the process of removing software bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in.

                          I don't get your point. Can you explain this more clearly ?
                          AFAIK, there's nothing LXDE specific. This project is essentially a wrapper around polkit which handles the "sudoing" part.

                              What do you mean by that ? Debian provides packages for both Qt 5 and Qt 6 ?

                                  That is still a bit cryptic regarding your "but very difficult" answer.
                                  What difficulties do you have ?

                                      Since that directory has various files with qt6 in their name and comment Change CMake code to enable building against Qt 5 or 6 I would guess it has already been made to work with Qt6 for you..... You did look inside e.g. CMakeLists.txt to check you are asking for Qt6 instead of Qt5, didn't you?
