[Bug 422756] New: Applications like KDESU, GNOMESU and GKSU do not function anymore
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=422756 Summary: Applications like KDESU, GNOMESU and GKSU do not function anymore Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Factory Platform: i686 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: tittiatwork@hotmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Today (3rd September) I updated my system to the latest factory build. Currently I am running Factory and KDE4_Unstable branch. After the update I noticed that neither kdesu (KDE4 & KDE3 version), Gnomesu and gksu are properly functioning. For all applications a box appears that requests the root password, but then nothing happens. Executing kdesu /sbin/yast2 inside a konsole delivers the password box, but directly after the prompt appears in the konsole without the yast2 application started. Whatever I use as command, it is not being executed. If I use sudo instead of kdesu, then it works, but I get the normal error that it cannot find a X-display. Given that all kdesu-similar applications are affected, I assume that this has to do with one of the system libraries.

With any other userid, kdesu is doing nothing after the password question. Gnomesu hangs after the password box. Only gksu is indicating an error : g24504@hqvm000261:/home/test> gksu -u test /usr/bin/konsole Failed to obtain xauth key: Function not implemented There is also a separate window from gksu that indicates : Failed to run /usr/bin/konsole as user test Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file Regards Raymond -- 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.

However this Factory repository has another problem with regards to CAIRO, Pango and Pixman. I have now the situation that I compiled myself the pixman library and also Pango to get thing stable. Once I rebooted, the kdesu, gnomesu applications worked again as expected. Indications are that the update for pixman (xorg-x11-libs) will be in Factory soon.
