The YaST.desktop tries to open "xsu" instead of "xterm ..." as in previous versions. small patch for detectDE() can fix it: if [ -n "${XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP}" ]; then case "${XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP}" in GNOME) DE=gnome; ;; KDE) DE=kde; ;; LXDE) DE=lxde; ;; XFCE) DE=xfce; ;; Razor) DE=generic; ;; esac fi I'd like to provide an upstream fix for portland/xdg but I think the xdg-su is obsolete there (portland.freedesktop.org is down with 500 internal server error now) and it's usedonly in openSUSE YaST suite. Am I right? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. /usr/bin/xdg-su -c /sbin/yast2 Actual Results: xdg-su: no graphical method available for invoking '/sbin/yast2' as 'root' Expected Results: su_generic called with xterm as su holder -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=778786 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=778786#c1 --- Comment #1 from Petr Vanek 2012-09-06 07:22:19 UTC --- also after some investigation in xdg-tools git: they have this addon in the detectDE: if [ x"$DE" = x"" ]; then XSU=`which xterm 2>/dev/null` if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then DE=generic fi fi so maybe resync with upstream would solve it (but regarding makefiles the xdg-su seems obsolete in portland repo).

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=778786 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=778786#c2 Henryk Hecht changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |nvbugs@hhecht.e4ward.com --- Comment #2 from Henryk Hecht 2012-09-08 23:29:03 UTC --- This is also a problem in openbox (and anything that isn't explicitly handled with a case clause). A snippet similar to the one in comment #1 already occurs in the file, but instead looks for xsu (which the generic method doesn't even use), and fails to set the DE if it doesn't find it (which it won't). There are a lot of ways to fix this, but the simplest would be to just s/xsu/xterm on line 558. Alternatively, and a bit more logically, one could put the assignment DE=generic somewhere at the tail of detectDE if it didn't otherwise get set. In any event, the present code (looking for and depending on xsu, which isn't used) is illogical and causes bugs in every environment except for four. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Leslie Turriff 2013-02-26 04:44:14 UTC --- Also, with regards to XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP, it might not always be set. I'm running the Trinity desktop environment, and it is not set there (actually, it looks like it's set to spaces).

http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=778786 --- Comment #8 from Simon Lees --- The following may also be useful, i don't have gnome installed but i think the kde session manager is installed, simon@Simotek-Top ~ $> dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus /org/freedesktop/DBus org.freedesktop.DBus.GetNameOwner string:org.gnome.SessionManager Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NameHasNoOwner: Could not get owner of name 'org.gnome.SessionManager': no such name I have a couple of old patches (12.2ish) that arn't currently applyed that i was going to look at updating and reapplying they basically replace xterm with terminology when enlightenment is running, so i'm happy to have a look at it. But may need some help along the way -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=778786 --- Comment #9 from Simon Lees --- Ok the issue is detectDE() sets the DE env var to enlightenment with the line elif echo $DESKTOP | grep -q '^Enlightenment'; then DE=enlightenment; however enlightenment isn't handled in the bottom case statement so it falls through to the error. The simplest fix would be to add enlightenment to the generic case but in the next couple of days ill push through a patch with a su_enlightenment that uses terminology instead of xterm, it would be nice if this made it into openSUSE 13.2 as a maintanance fix -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
