ZuluCrypt not working in user session

Support
1

I cannot run zuluCrypt-GUI from “user”.

Using VirtualBox 7.1.8 and Whonix 17.3.9.9

First I got this error:

                    Failed To Start Helper Application.

"org.zulucrypt.zulupolkit.policy" polkit file is misconfigured,
                zuluPolkit executable could not be found
                      or pkexec failed to start zuluPolkit.

The workaround from here: /t/cannot-use-pkexec/8129/16 did not work, however this post led me to give pkexec setuid permissions which is apparently required.
After this change ZuluCrypt started working from the “sysmaint” user, however with the “user” user I get this error:

[workstation user ~]% zuluCrypt-gui 
==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.zulucrypt.zulupolkit ====
Authentication is required to complete requested operation.
Authenticating as: ,,, (user)
==== AUTHENTICATION FAILED ====

Your options are documented here:
Applications requiring Administrative Rights during User Session

(Whonix is based on Kicksecure)

I have the same problem. Someone can write instructions on how to make it so that I can run through the user - zuluCrypt. For example, what do I need, what privleap custom actions do I need to do. Thanks.

Can you provide an example of commands specifically for Zulucrypt in the wiki, please? :pray: I think this is the main issue users face in the user session. For beginners, this problem is quite challenging. I am new to Whonix and Linux, and I am having trouble with Zulucrypt. Or does this not work for a single program? Thank you.

Not planned.
