Which distro are you running? Are you using a system without sudo?

I’m on Arch, and no I am not running a system without sudo. I also don’t have app armor or SELinux enabled, if that helps.

That’s a known kauth issue I think…

Deleting the build directory for libksysguard (~/kde/build/libksysguard) and rebuilding it should work.

I’m facing the same issue currently, and deleting the directory didn’t help.

I’m wondering if anyone else has faced this issue and debugged it?

Unfortunately, as I can’t edit, here are some more details!

The build only works with sudo ninja install, otherwise giving the same error mentioned in the original post.

However, kde-builder doesn’t detect that it’s been built after I’ve manually built it, which causes it still to catch at libksysguard.
