Typing "plainbox" results in a "command not found" error. After installing the "plainbox" package the command became available, but I got the following:

$ plainbox --trace plainbox.ctrl run -w /usr/share/checkbox/data/whitelists/hwsubmit.whitelist

If I should be passing a specific whitelist file, please clarify.

The ~/.cache/plainbox/logs directory was empty. (I cleaned out ~/.cache/plainbox prior to making this attempt, so if you meant to get the log from my earlier run, it's gone.)

I did find that the following appeared in /var/log/auth.log when the authentication error occurred:
