Description

The pkexec tool may be needed to run commands as root.

Resolution

On CrossOver 17 and greater, the simplest solution to fix this issue is to run:

/path/to/cxoffice/bin/cxfix missingpkexec

Or add --show-all to see how CrossOver would fix it on your platform and others.

Alternatively you may try one of the commands below.

Arch Linux: pacman -Syu polkit

Debian: apt-get install pkexec

Fedora: yum install polkit

openSUSE 11.2: zypper install polkit

openSUSE 15.5: zypper install pkexec

Notes

cxfix --show-all may have more up-to-date fixes.

The commands usually also apply to newer versions of the distributions above as well as derived distributions. So for instance a fix for Debian 7 may still be valid for the latest Debian Testing and is typically also applicable to Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Deepin and Pop! OS. Similarly a fix for Fedora likely also works on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, etc.
