Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ssh-askpass-fullscreen
When ssh-askpass-fullscreen is started to ask for a password,
a dialog containing the following message is shown:
Could not grab keyboard. A malicious client may be
eavesdropping on your session.
The password can still be entered (after dismissing the
dialog).
Running the command from a terminal, I get the following:
$ ssh-askpass-fullscreen
Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0".
(ssh-askpass-fullscreen:14975): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_main_quit: assertion
`main_loops != NULL' failed
password
(I typed "password").
Using the gnome-ssh-askpass command works ok:
$ /usr/lib/openssh/gnome-ssh-askpass
Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0".
password
i.e., no dialog is shown.
