<div>The C4C Lubuntu 18.04 ReSpin now uses pkexec [<a

in place of gksu. By utilizing the method put forth by and the
policy files created by Allen Guarnes

you should be able to do what you want and have everything
look just the same as it did. In ebery case I've tried, I've
been able to replace gksu with pkexec. For example, the
command gksu pcmanfm can be replaced with pkexec pcmanfm.

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I agree that pkexec is the current best practice. You will
need to make a pkexec file for the programs if they do not have
one, though.</p>
<p>I am not sure though if systemd is replacing PolicyKit (they've
replaced many many many things). So this may be a temporary
solution (should work for a few years at least).</p>
<p>Aere,</p>
<p>I did some looking around and Arch (as per usual) has a really
helpful page about this</p>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

<p>tl;dr</p>
<p>If they are Qt4 apps</p>
<p><tt>echo "[Qt]</tt></p>
<p><tt>style=GTK+" >> ~/.config/Trolltech.conf</tt></p>
<p>If they are Qt5</p>
<p><tt>sudo apt install qt5-style-plugins</tt></p>
<p>Then you need to set this variable (so I am adding it to the
xinitrc)</p>
<p><code>echo "QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk2" >> .~/xinitrc</code></p>
<p>This should get you back on track :D<br>

<p>Israel:</p>
<p>They are definitely qt5 applications. <br>
</p>
<p>I have attached a screenshot of the error dialog to this e-mail
as a ".png" file. <br>
</p>
<p>I tried what you said to do for qt5, with results as follows:</p>
<p>qt5-style-plugins were already installed, and the latest
version. <br>
</p>
<p>Your echo command didn't work. In reading the URL info, I think
it should have been: <br>
</p>
<p><code>echo "QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk2" >> </code><code><code>~/</code>.xinitrc
<br>
</code></p>
<p><code>But that didn't work either. Signing-in didn't work
either. <br>
</code></p>
<p><code>If I could just figure out where lxqt-sudo is defining
QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE, and remove it, I think I would be able to fix
my systems. <br>
