I installed LXDM and LightDM, I couldn’t login from the DM in either cases, so I decided to run LXQt using startx which worked, except I couldn’t sudo from the terminal emulator inside LXQt, while I was able to sudo normally in tty, I’ve tried enabling elogind, nothing changed, my user is in the wheel group and my system is up to date

What does “doesn’t allow sudo” mean? Did you get an error that provided a reason? What exactly did you do?

It says incorrect password, I’m pretty sure it is entered correctly

But what does. Be specific. Are you prompted on the CLI or is there a pop-up window that you’re entering credentials into?

I dont use neither void and neither x11, but that seems like a common thing that should be mentioned in the docs? i think

I looked up void docs, the only recommended thing I found was enabling elogind :/

Try starting with dbus session. Also try lxqt-session and startlxqt commands.

I’ve tried

exec dbus-run-session -- startlxqt

Nothing changed

I also tried

exec lxqt-session

It ran a broken session with no panel, I tried to sudo from there but it also said incorrect password

What shell are you running in your terminal? If I’m remembering correctly, it’s recommended to set the shells during the installation, so that could be the issue here.

Both bash and fish are returning incorrect password upon trying to execute any command with sudo

Interesting, could also be the tty. If it’s causing you a lot of trouble, you might want to just reinstall.

Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
