Issues with FirewallD and Discover

(Sorry forgot how to out the output in a code box)

See my Sig below "Code Tags"
I would like to see this also please:

cat /etc/xdg/autostart/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1.desktop

Thanks and that looks ok for a normal set-up but you have a custom user-setup.
So try this for me please:

sudoedit /etc/xdg/autostart/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1.desktop

Now in the line:"AutostartCondition=GNOME3 unless-session gnome" put a comment in front of that so it looks exactly like:

#AutostartCondition=GNOME3 unless-session gnome

Save it and close, And I'm not sure but a log-out and log-in should set it... if not try a reboot.

[mariofanboy-21]

Attempted your advice, still have the same issue.

[1fallen]

Just to be sure did you also reboot?

[mariofanboy-21]

I did I think it's something to do with XFCE' session getting root access when needed.

I'm still unclear as to how to advise here, and it looks as gnome is a red-headed step child here.

In a gnome session see if you can run:

sudo -l -U yourusername

where "yourusername" is the name used to login with.
If that is un-sucessful try this:

groups

This could take a bit to figure out so hang in here please.

[mariofanboy-21]

this is what I got

Matching Defaults entries for cardin on cardin-pc:
    env_reset, mail_badpass,
    secure_path=/usr/local/sbin\:/usr/local/bin\:/usr/sbin\:/usr/bin\:/sbin\:/bin\:/snap/bin

User cardin may run the following commands on cardin-pc:
    (ALL : ALL) ALL
    (ALL) ALL

[1fallen]

This problem is seemly caused by sudo looking for directives in a place it cannot find them:
We may be narrowing in on the problem hopefully, may I see this also:

cat /etc/nsswitch.conf

so you should have a /etc/nsswitch file entry like the following:

sudoers:        files

I have to work all day today but should be around tomorrow. (Just a heads-up)
EDIT: Also show me this please:

which firewalld
which discover

[mariofanboy-21]

For Nsswitch

# /etc/nsswitch.conf
#
# Example configuration of GNU Name Service Switch functionality.
# If you have the `glibc-doc-reference' and `info' packages installed, try:
# `info libc "Name Service Switch"' for information about this file.
