Package: gksu Version: 1.9.1-2 gksudo sometimes doesn't show the password prompt when it should. The startup notification shows "Granting rights" in my task/window list, and the cursor changes to the busy cursor, but no password dialog is displayed, and the target app is not started. I get this on the command line:
$ gksudo gedit glibtop: This machine has 2 CPUs, 2 are being monitored. GNOME_SUDO_PASS [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gksudo -d gedit No ask_pass set, using default! STARTUP_ID: gksudo/gedit/7902-0-orthanc_TIME3079645632 xauth: /tmp/libgksu-fFQvCq/.Xauthority cmd[0]: /usr/bin/sudo cmd[1]: -H cmd[2]: -S cmd[3]: -p cmd[4]: GNOME_SUDO_PASS cmd[5]: -u cmd[6]: root cmd[7]: -- cmd[8]: gedit buffer: -- No password prompt found; we'll assume we don't need a password. glibtop: This machine has 2 CPUs, 2 are being monitored. GNOME_SUDO_PASS The process does not terminate. Usually, when killing it with Ctrl-c and then re-running it, it works properly. When it does work correctly, I get: $ gksudo -d gedit No ask_pass set, using default! STARTUP_ID: gksudo/gedit/8234-0-orthanc_TIME3079735744 xauth: /tmp/libgksu-oVbJN9/.Xauthority cmd[0]: /usr/bin/sudo cmd[1]: -H cmd[2]: -S cmd[3]: -p cmd[4]: GNOME_SUDO_PASS cmd[5]: -u cmd[6]: root cmd[7]: -- cmd[8]: gedit buffer: -GNOME_SUDO_PASS- Yeah, we're in... This problem occurs somewhat intermittently, and I'm not sure how to reproduce it. Sometimes it happens within a newly created terminal. It often happens with a new Gnome session - e.g. I start firestarter with gksudo in gnome session - this then usually fails to display the password prompt. $ sudo gedit works as expected, so I doubt it's a sudo issue. I'm running etch on a Dell Precision M90 (Intel Centrino Duo).
