Ok, I made some more tests, this time on a 'clean' install of dapper (as a guest OS with mware server). userA is the first account and is sudoer. userB is the second account and is NOT sudoer.
Login with userA : gksuexec -> id as userB and using userB password : GNOME_SUDO_PASS sudo : 1 incorrect password attempt. Login with userA : gksuexec -> id as userB and using userA (root) password : uid=1001(userB).... it's working Login with userA : gksuexec -> firefox as userB : Xlib : connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified (firefox-bin:7828): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display I'm sure there is a bug somewhere... will test on edgy in the hope I can install knot2 as a vmware guest ;-) -- gksuexec doesn't work in dapper ! https://launchpad.net/bugs/47388 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
