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DE=xfce; ;; Razor) DE=generic; ;; esac fi I'd like to provide an upstream fix for portland/xdg but I think the xdg-su is obsolete there (portland.freedesktop.org is down with 500 internal server error now) and it's usedonly in openSUSE YaST suite.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.
