Package: gksu
Version: 2.0.0-8
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
1) When launching gedit from a root terminal, always get this error in a
popup window: "Failed to contact configuration server; some possible
causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you
have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See
http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1:
Failed to get connection to session: Did not receive a reply. Possible
causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message
bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the
network connection was broken.)"
2) Same as above occurs when launching nautilus from a root window
and the nautilus window that opens in fact does not have root
privileges.
3) Interferes with functionality of programs that require root password
to use them. Update-manager fails to launch after entering password.
Adjusting time for gnome panel applet or opening network preferences
window, gives this error: "The platform you are running is not supported
by this tool, if you know for sure that it works like one of the
platforms listed below, you can select that and continue. Note, however,
that this might damage the system configuration or downright cripple
your computer."
I'm not certain these problems all relate to gksu, but it seems like the
culprit, since they are all errors that appear when launching a gnome
program with root priviledges and, in the case of 3), occur immediately
after entering root password in popup window. They also all appear after
gksu upgrades from 2.0.0-6 to 2.0.0-8. Some people report solving
problem 1) by upgrading to 2.0.2, but this did not solve the problem for
me.
