Retropie requesting password when shutting down through GUI
-
Hi,
I'm trying to shutdown the computer from the retropie but it always requires me to enter the root password.
I'm tried multiple solutions to make the shutdown command not required sudo but can't seem to make it work.
Does anyone else also have this problem?
Pi Model or other hardware: X86 PC with Ubuntu
RetroPie Version Used: 4.3.1
Built From: stock SD image RetroPie (sudo apt-get process)
How to replicate the problem:
In the retropie menu (Enter) selected the option to shutdown the whole computer and then instead of the computer shutting down, it asks me for the password. -

Have you tried this?

sudo visudo
Find this line:
%sudo ALL=(ALL) ALL
Change the line to:
%sudo ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

It works.
Thanks
