I noticed (relative to another person's e-mail on the subject) that (according to Synaptic Package Manager) on the test system, gksu is the package that is actually installed. I performed the above (in a different order) on my test system, and added another statement: gksu ls to the list. It was this added statement that actually triggered the similar problem. Here is the console listing of my trying it: ------------------------------- aere@aere-Inspiron-620:~$ *kdesudo ls* The program 'kdesudo' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install kdesudo aere@aere-Inspiron-620:~$ sudo ls [sudo] password for aere: Desktop MIDI-Installation-sys.log Documents MIDI-Training Downloads Migration eclipse Music error-trace.txt Pictures examples.desktop Public KeyMusician-Keyboard rosegarden KeyMusician-Keyboard-bak Templates KMK.jar Videos KMK-old.jar VirtualBox VMs libfluidsynth1_1.1.5-3ubuntu1~diwicppa_i386.deb workspace MIDI-Installation.log Zyn-16chan-blank.xmz aere@aere-Inspiron-620:~$*gksudo ls* Desktop MIDI-Installation-sys.log Documents MIDI-Training Downloads Migration eclipse Music error-trace.txt Pictures examples.desktop Public KeyMusician-Keyboard rosegarden KeyMusician-Keyboard-bak Templates KMK.jar Videos KMK-old.jar VirtualBox VMs libfluidsynth1_1.1.5-3ubuntu1~diwicppa_i386.deb workspace MIDI-Installation.log Zyn-16chan-blank.xmz aere@aere-Inspiron-620:~$*gksudo ls* Desktop error-trace.txt KMK.jar MIDI-Installation-sys.log Pictures Videos Documents examples.desktop KMK-old.jar MIDI-Training Public VirtualBox VMs Downloads KeyMusician-Keyboard libfluidsynth1_1.1.5-3ubuntu1~diwicppa_i386.deb Migration rosegarden workspace eclipse KeyMusician-Keyboard-bak MIDI-Installation.log Music Templates Zyn-16chan-blank.xmz aere@aere-Inspiron-620:~$ *gksu ls* ------------------------------- I marked the entered statements above in *bold* emphasis. Notice that all of the statements returned output, except the last one. It was the only one that brought up a graphics dialog box for entering my password. As in the test before, it appeared once, and I entered my password in it. In response it displayed the dialog box again, indicating the password was wrong. I entered the qwerty version of my password. But again, it re-displayed the dialog asking for the password, and I entered my dvorak password. Then the dialog box shown in the attached screenshot appeared. I would have taken screenshots of the dialog asking for my password, but it 'grayed-out' everything else on my desktop, so I couldn't do it. Be aware that when I fired up Synaptic Package Manager on this test machine, I had to enter my password in a graphics dialog box, but it worked in that case. The look of the graphics dialog box asking for my password looked different coming from Synaptic, than what appeared from gksu. Be aware that the test machine this is happening on uses the amd64 architecture. -- Sincerely, Aere ** Attachment added: "Screenshot from 2013-05-29 16_25_25.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1184061/+attachment/3690228/+files/Screenshot%20from%202013-05-29%2016_25_25.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1184061 Title: checkbox does not accept my valid (for everything else) password To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/checkbox/+bug/1184061/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
