[opensuse] opensuse 10.3 - smart package mgr.
opensuse 10.3 KDE thinkpad x40 Problem: clicking in smart does not start: "Please enter administrative (root) password to conitnue Command: --gui Password: XXXXXXX OK" "Command "--gui" not found" This is what I have done: 1. check the setup and everything is OK (the same as 10.2) Command: smart --gui Run as different user "root"checked: 2. open xterm and $ su smart-gui it works OK $ kdesu smart--gui It produces the same error. --gui unknown option. Quotes did not make any difference. 3. Under 10.2 smart works however if I do it under CLI the same happens. So it looks like if under 10.2 when you click in the icon it calls su and then passes the parameter. Under 10.3 seems it call kdesu and it produces the error. This may not be correct. Any clues?

From console try: kdesu 'smart --gui' In KDE > Main Menu right click and select Menu Editor. Browse to menu item Smart and see that "Run as different user" is checked and "Username" is root. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well i used menu editor to change the command to: kdesu "smart --gui" and that works for me. Hope that helps, David -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Rajko, Thanks, It is working now. I just use the whole thing in the command fields kdesu 'smart --gui' Before I had the default installation that was the same as 10.2 with smart -gui in the command line root as username but for some reason some changes have occurred that produced the error.

Thanks to Stefan's post now is clear that even if you enter this in Command field for menu item Smart: blah smart --gui instead of kdesu 'smart --gui' it will work. The bug is that KDE drops first string, so kdesu in: kdesu 'smart --gui' will be dropped and kdesu that is called because it is checked "Run as different user" will get 'smart --gui', remove quotes, ask for password and run: smart --gui The other way that works is to put: /usr/bin/smart --gui in Command field for Smart. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Forgot to mention that above will work after KDE is fixed and we get patch via online update. The other solutions will make problems after that. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
