Didn't ask for Admin priviliges (newbie to arch)

[m9henri]

Describe the bug

It didn't ask me for admin priviliges, idk how i can let it ask for me. (sry if this issue is already solved, or a duplicated one)

System Information

Additional context

Update:
When I build or use the pre-build, it shows me the wallpaper selection in the settings, but when I select a wallpaper and press apply, there's only a black background.

If you have not already, run the install command with sudo. if you took the set of commands and put them into a .sh file, run that with sudo.

I have already tried to run it with sudo and it didn't work.

I'm sorry if you have already done this. have you taken the whole command set and pasted it into a text file.

# Download source
git clone https://github.com/catsout/wallpaper-engine-kde-plugin.git
cd wallpaper-engine-kde-plugin

# Download submodule
git submodule update --init --force --recursive

# Configure, build and install
# 'USE_PLASMAPKG=ON': using kpackagetool tool to install plugin
cmake -B build -S . -GNinja -DUSE_PLASMAPKG=ON
cmake --build build
cmake --install build

# Install package (ignore if USE_PLASMAPKG=OFF for system-wide installation)
cmake --build build --target install_pkg

After you have pasted the the above set of commands, change the file to a .sh, make it executable, and run the file with sudo.
chmod u+x File.sh
I initially ran it without sudo and ran into your issue. running it with sudo after the first run resolved the problem.
If you have done this, and have not already, make sure you restart KDE after installing the plugin.
systemctl --user restart plasma-plasmashell.service
You may need to restart KDE when changing to some wallpapers from my experience.

That sadly didn't work either, when I did that, it did nothing in the terminal.

My instructions were poorly written sorry
chmod u+x File.sh
That command did not need to be run with sudo. Running chmod makes the file executable
sudo ./File.sh
You need to run the file with sudo as shown in the command above.
after running that with sudo (may need to run it twice) run
systemctl --user restart plasma-plasmashell.service
