I was just trying to politely hint you it might be something on your end.
I just tested with the latest live KDE 6 ISO and after installing the 2 dependencies it works.
It actually helped me discover a small error in the dependencies help hints which i now corrected.
I feel so stupid. Donât know where I missed it or it was just common sense.
It work fine when I type sudo to begin the script.
WellâŚsince just showing the menu does not require sudo (only some part does and it asks for it), that means there is something on your system with the wrong permissions. Maybe at some point in the past you run some external script with sudo where you shouldnât have to, or did sudo npm, or sudo pip, or something similar.
I somehow missed this when I read this thread before. Itâs what I do with the aliases I add to my ~/.bashrc, e.g. the one I use for the WAN speed test.

Thanks.
Even though I donât use it, I like to see how itâs progressing.

Got inspired from the recent cups events to add sudo netstat -tulpn. One can see expected and unexpected stuff. I for example did not know networkmanager is constantly listening for who knows what⌠(according to one forum something to do with dhcp)
Well, listening for potential traffic comes to mind (possible connections).
The first thing that comes to mind is the âcheck network statusâ that I usually disable.
as defined by
/usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/20-connectivity.conf
and often overridden with something like
/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/20-connectivity.conf
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NetworkManager#Checking_connectivity
Checking network status is an outgoing connection, not incoming. Could have been a vpn server part, but i do not have a server. Maybe something with libvirtâŚor dhcp, although i do not see the logic.
Iâve hesitated to ask this because if not careful it could kill a system from running.
But how about a kernel cleanup choice. Maybe that doesnât fit in this kind of script.
The reason why I am asking is I keep 2 kernels active on my system sometimes 3 and as I do updates new kernel versions come in. The old ones stay also. Like 6.10.10-2 and then that gets replaced with 6.10.10-3 for example and 6.10.10-2 remains. Well after a while it takes a long time to update when kernels get updated. I guess because I also use DKMS and the updates take a long time to finish. The more kernel versions you have the longer it takes. This gets annoying for me.
So I end up doing a manual cleanup of modules . I was thinking of writing a script to do this from time to time.
The problem is this is a ânot everyone needs thisâ I guess scenario.
Anyway what do you think.
Maybe this should be a topic all to itself.
Thanks
It indeed needs another topic, because it is a specific problem/config in your system - it does not generally happen. The old subversions do not stay. But i do not use dkms, maybe it has something to do with it, i do not know.

Since pamac gui is again broken since several weeks and messes its own aur database looks like this will be needed very frequently, before i search for an aur package in the gui

Hello Teo,
thanks for your script, I tryed the new one and in a dark room. It blinds my eyes 
Is there a possibility for a dark mode?
Or a darker Version?
Many thanks for your work
Greetings
Tony
I might have some spare sunglasses.

There is no specific theming at all. Xdialog is a gtk program and runs with the system theme for gtk apps, which should be fine on xfce and gnome.
Have not really tested on plasma. I think there is the analog of Xdialog called Kdialog but the syntax is slightly different so some tweaking will be needed.
Thank you Teo
My Linux Manjaro knowledge is that of an experienced user. If only after your script dialog and xdialog were installed on Plasma.
The console only opens with (I think) blue text and a white background.
At the bottom right it briefly appears that if I want buttons (sudo pacman -S gtk-engine-murrine ) should be executed.
After that your dialog window opens correctly with white text and a dark background.
All good
Thanks
Tony
