https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=210943 andreas.hanke@gmx-topmail.de changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |andreas.hanke@gmx-topmail.de ------- Comment #1 from andreas.hanke@gmx-topmail.de 2006-10-09 19:30 MST ------- "TryExec" doesn't seem to work. The Bug is about /opt/gnome/share/applications/gdmsetup.desktop, which contains: Name=Login Window TryExec=/opt/gnome/sbin/gdmsetup Exec=gdmsetup It doesn't seem to use the "TryExec" value at all, because I can reproduce the report: % application-browser (process:19053): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_display_get_name: assertion `GDK_IS_DISPLAY (display)' failed ** (Gnome Application Browser:19053): WARNING **: error launching file:///opt/gnome/share/applications/gdmsetup.desktop [Failed to execute child process "gdmsetup" (No such file or directory)] If this doesn't work, it needs to be worked around by using the absolute path to the gdmsetup binary in the "Exec" line. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=210943 ------- Comment #3 from andreas.hanke@gmx-topmail.de 2006-10-09 20:48 MST ------- Yes, you're right. I totally missed the point of TryExec. ;-) Upstream bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=334647 Upstream change: http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gdm2/gui/gdmsetup.desktop.in?r1=1.12&r2=1.13 Both the bug report and the change are broken: - With this change, TryExec succeeds and Exec fails. => Bad, because the user sees a menu entry that doesn't work. Either both of them should fail (=> The user doesn't see the menu entry) or both of them should succeed (=> The user sees the menu entry and it works). - The report talks about gksu which is Ubuntu specific. If we want to have gdmsetup ask for the root password in openSUSE (I can't decide this), it needs to be implemented differently. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
