Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gksu
After I upgraded to Edgy Eft, gksu didn't feel like playing ball
anymore. It's stopped accepting my password, telling me that it's
incorrect. I *know* it's not, because it works with sudo, and I've tried
so many times. Also, I ran a debug, attempting to figure out the
problem, but without really feeling any smarter. The following is what
happens after I've input the password:
DEBUG (run:after-pass) buf: -Password: -
DEBUG (run:post-after-pass) buf: -
ssword: -
DEBUG (run:post-after-pass) buf: -su: Authentication failure
Sorry.
-
DEBUG (auth_failed) buf: -su: Authentication failure
Sorry.
I know that it's not incorrect, because the password is printed right
before the above text. There must be something wrong here. Could it have
anything to do with the xauth?
I keep getting this message after every attempt:
sn_launcher_context_initiate called twice for the same SnLaunchContext,
but it might not have anything to do with the password not being recognized.
