[Bug 305332] New: yumex symlinks to 'consolehelper' to get privileged access for use of rpm and yum
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=305332 Summary: yumex symlinks to 'consolehelper' to get privileged access for use of rpm and yum Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Beta 2 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: dbahi@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: cthiel@novell.com Found By: --- consolehelper is the RH beast to prompt for root password via text or gui to run applications that need privileged access. needless to say yumex won't launch this way for root or users since 'consolehelper' does not exist for opensuse. we need to replace the symlink with the same construct / wrapper we use for launching yast2 or SaX2 so that /usr/bin/yumex will launch /usr/share/yumex/yumex with the right permissions. -- 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.
