While clicking 'Launch as Root' option or opening protected directory, the terminal window opens for authentication. But neither user password nor root password works. The window just closes/disappears.

    This works in major Linux distributions. What is your system and Xfe version?

      Same issue here.
      When I try to use "su" option it ask me for password and close after password is provided poping a non hinting error message: "An error has occurred!"

      I'm using
      FreeBSD 12.1
      Xfe version 1.43.2

    Hi, in the new Xfe 1.4, you can customize the sudo and su commands (in Edit / Ppreferences / Mode) to suit your particular system. You should give it a try...

      I'll try and let you know. :)

      I updated Xfe to 1.44 in Guix. The issue is gone now. Thanks!

        OK, so this bug can be closed.
