I'm really confused now. Does this work fine?
su - xterm Besides that I do not know how to copy out of a xterm window it looks fine:
Okay, I just don't understand now. xdg-su is simply calling xterm and there it seems it doesn't work. But if you do it manually, it does work. I think I'd really need to be able to reproduce to better debug that. Or someone can play with xdg-su (it's a shell script) to see what's the difference between what I asked here and xdg-su. If someone knows how to reproduce this issue from a fresh install, I'd welcome instructions...
But as there are several users with the same problem in the forums it seemed to me not to be caused by an unusual/singular stupidity.
Heh, it's not stupidity. But there's a difference somewhere between our systems, and I have no idea what this is... (In reply to comment #24)
Why should root become root/get root privileges (again)?
This is simply what yast does: you run the shell as root, and it executes the modules with xdg-su. So I was simply trying to reproduce the issue outside of yast. -- 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.
