I think I've found a solution or at least a "better" workaround; open a terminal and type

Code:

pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY luckybackup

a window should pop up for you to type in your password and LBSU  should launch/start and if it does, open a terminal and type

Code:

sudo nano /usr/bin/luckybackup-pkexec

comment the lines in the file, copy/paste the pkexec command above, hit Ctrl + o to save changes and then Ctrl + x to close nano.



Now, click on menu, search for luckybackup and click on LBSU, a window should pop up for you to type in your password, hit enter and LBSU should start without a problem, at least It did here.

Moltke, the procedure I did in post #8 works fine for me, but I did start to do what you mentioned above.

But when I copied  pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY luckybackup
and pasted it in the terminal, I got a Warning- Unsafe Paste with the options to quit or paste.
Wasn't sure if I was about to mess something up, so I chose quit.

Did you get any warning when you entered that in the terminal ?

No, I didn't get any but I didn't use xfce4-terminal but konsole and I do know xfce4-terminal does that, so it's safe to paste the command, however, if it makes you feel a bit safer, copy/paste to a text editor first then copy from that one and paste it to the terminal, it  shouldn't trigger any warnings now. It does that cause you're copying/pasting something from a web page.

Ok, I did as you said above and put the original command (/usr/bin/luckybackup-pkexec) back in and
unchecked the 'Run in terminal' box and yes, it starts and runs ok now without having to use the terminal.
Thank you very much.
