Fedora :: Gksu Graphical Authentication Program?

Sep 13, 2009

Does Fedora 11 gnome have that gksu graphical authentication program which allows a normal user to open tools such as that NTFS Configuration Tool to enable full ntfs write support ? I did try to find it with both yum in a terminal, and the package manager, but is not found.

Fedora :: Gksu - GConf Error: Failed To Contact Configuration Server

Anyone what this gksu error is about (it repeats it three times)

gksu-2.0.0-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
# gksu ls

GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash.

Ubuntu :: Run Gksu Without A Password Possible?

Apr 25, 2010

I'd like to be able to run gksu (i.e. the default windowed authentication) without a password. I tried to find this on the wiki and here on the forums but wasn't able to find anything. I've allowed 'sudo' to run without a password:

Code:
<username> ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL

for my username but this has no effect on 'gksu'. As I am the only user on my machine and I have to enter a password on login

Ubuntu :: Gksu Not Working In 10.10

Oct 11, 2010

I can enter my password just fine to log into the system, and using sudo from a terminal also works, but "gksu" does not. It tells me my password is incorrect. That means Synaptic doesn't work unless I "sudo synaptic" from the terminal. Anyone else happen to encounter this yet, or is it just me? I started with a clean install of Kubuntu 10.10, which I later installed ubuntu-desktop over and then removed. Would that possibly make a difference here?

Slackware :: Can't Get Gksu To Work?

Jan 26, 2010

I have 13.0_64 installed. Found gksu on slackbuild.org. I downloaded it and followed the links to the dependencies and built and installed each one mentioned. gksu built okay and gave me a package which I installed. If I open the run command and enter "gksu thunar" I get this error

Code:
The gksu-run-helper command was not found or is not executable. I'm lost at this point. Forgot to mention that I am running Xfce.

Ubuntu :: Su And Gksu Don't Accept Password?

Sep 1, 2011

I have this issue on both Ubuntu and Lubuntu 11.04 64-bit on 2 different machines. I have not tested 32-bit.

When I run synaptic or update-manager it presents me with gksu, not gksudo as it previously did in previous Ubuntu releases, no matter how many times I try it will not accept my password.

I have even given it command line arguments to print the password to the terminal and it's correct.

I have found a workaround - by running gksu-properties and changing the mode from su to sudo it will now display gksudo and accept my password.

However, I want to know why it won't accept my sudo password for the su and gksu commands? There are no error messages which are outputted, the gui just says incorrect password.

Debian Configuration :: Gksu/su-to-root To Run In Terminal Possible?

Jan 17, 2011

I'm configuring some security and i'd like to run arpon to a specific device everytime wicd connects.So, if Wicd connects to a wireless, i'd launch gksu arpon -d -i eth2 (for example.) But this doesn't work, because it seems that gksu only works for X apps.I found that if i do: gnome-terminal -e 'sudo arpon -d -i eth2' It works, but it leaves me with a terminal window open, and i'd like to be asked for a password gksu style.I've also tried this: gksu -- arpon -d -i eth2which also works, but the program quits right after it's started.Am i missing something here?

Ubuntu :: Gksudo And Gksu Stop Working?

Jan 20, 2010

I am running a file server on Jaunty. It was a fresh install about a month ago and I have been having problems ever since. I connect external drives to the machine to do nightly backups. Lately, I have been using GParted (Gnome Partition Editor) to format the drives before using them as backups, as I keep a backup for every day of the week.

After using GParted a couple of times, it will stop working and I can't open it or any other application that needs root privileges. I can't use Gnome to mount drives anymore. I have to open Terminal and use the mount command to mount drives. Trying to start gparted or any other application, including nautilus from the Terminal using gksudo or gksu, I get the following error message:

Code:
gksudo nautilus
(nautilus:25353): nautilus-extension-gnome-mount-WARNING **: Cannot connect to system bus: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.LimitsExceeded : The maximum number of active connections for UID 0 has been reached
(nautilus:25353): nautilus-extension-gnome-mount-WARNING **: Could not initialize hal context

[Code].....

Once the machine is rebooted, everything works fine until I run a few more privileged applications, then the applications stop working again and this whole process starts all over. The only way to fix the problem so far is to reboot the machine, which is completely unacceptable.

Ubuntu :: Gksu Not Working - Sudo Slow ?

Jun 29, 2010

I've been having a problem with administrative apps all the way from last years' distros, and in 10.04-x64 it's still here.

When i launch an application that needs gksu, it simply hangs waiting for a gksu window that never shows up.

If i launch another administrative app, it hangs as well.

When i look at the process list, i get a lot of gksu instances, all sleeping.

if i kill those processes, the mentioned apps resume with an authentication error

But if i use a terminal and type sudo <app>, it hangs for a few seconds, then prompts for password and it works fine.

I don't know why it works so badly, but it needs to be fixed soon, many new users will surely find this very frustrating.

I run ubuntu 10.04-64bit on a AMD-Athlon-x2

Ubuntu :: Gksu Prompts For Administrative Password

Apr 19, 2011

How to fix the problem that is happening with gksu. It prompts me for the administrative password. I don't (for advised security reasons) have a password associated with the root account.

The sudo works fine and accepts my sudo password. Gksu fails with "incorect password... try again." error.

This is a new install of the Ubuntu Server 10.10 x64 Maverick edition.

Ubuntu :: Gksudo/gksu Silently Refuses To Do Anything

Jun 2, 2011

This comes at some point after installing GNS3 and Dynamips, which require administrator access as GUI's. Although, the first couple times I tried to run GNS3 as administrator, it worked fine. I do still receive the password prompt, whether running from the command line or the context menu. Note that GNS3 is the first application for which I've needed to run gksudo, so this may have been an issue before the above were installed, although I've always been able to run "Open as Administrator" in Nautilus and "Synaptic Package Manager," which now will not run either.

Running Ubuntu 10.10.

General :: Does The Gnome Desktop Use Gksu For Temporary Root

Sep 13, 2009

Like in the kde desktop there is; "kdesu" for temporary root, such as to open a text to edit. So then does the gnome desktop use "gksu" for it's temporary root ? I now refer to a Fedora 11 install. And how can I change a utility tool to open up as a regular user, (not just only as root) ?

Ubuntu Security :: GKSU Terminates After 1 Incorrect Password Attempt

Nov 19, 2010

Just like the title says, if I were to try to run anything through gksu and accidentally put in an incorrect password, instead of the gksu window coming up again, it would just terminate.

Code:
theyain@theyain-laptop:~$ gksu update-manager
GNOME_SUDO_PASSGNOME_SUDO_PASSSorry, try again.
sudo: 3 incorrect password attempts

Whats interesting is that it gives me the sudo error after only one incorrect password attempt.

Ubuntu :: Change Gksu To Gksudo In Lxshortcut (for Synaptic Package Manager)

Nov 7, 2010

I installed lubuntu 10.10 from a minimal netinstall. For some reason, the main menu entry for synaptic package manager uses gksu instead of gksudo at the beginning of the command, as revealed by right-clicking the entry, then clicking "properties". This, of course, precludes the ability to access the program unless you're among the few who have activated the root user account. That's a problem in and of itself, but it's been recognized elsewhere. However, after I fixed the command and clicked "ok", nothing changed. I opened up the little properties menu again and it was gksu, as though I hadn't fixed the command.

The properties window is a mysterious little program called lxshortcut. I suspect that if I run lxshortcut using sudo, then the changes I make will actually stick. Problem is, I don't know how to find the actual location of the main menu's SPM shortcut/launcher-thingy. Nor are there any clear instructions on how to use lxshortcut in terminal. I flailed about with my best interpretation of vague instructions, but to no avail.

I downloaded alacarte (which is, of course, intended for gnome), and I got the software sources entry to show up in the list, but nothing else in the program responded when I clicked. The whole experience in alacarte was weird and unhelpful and somehow I've outright removed the menu entry for synaptic. And that's fine, I barely use it anyway, but Software Sources also has the same gksu problem, and I actually use that one. So how do I change the command associated with one of the preferences in the lxde/lubuntu main menu?

Fedora Installation :: Install Fedora 12 I386 Using CD#1 For A Minimal Install?

Dec 19, 2009

I'm trying to install Fedora 12 i386 using CD#1 for a minimal install. For that during installation I selected only Base. For some reason when I started installation it was trying to install 432 packages (Base has got about 80 or so packages). i can understand there might be some dependencies, but really that much? I kept going with the installation of 432 packages, but it finally failed on gtk2-immodule-xim-2.18.3-19.fc12.i686.rpm.I need just minimal install, so I can install LXDE later on by myself.

Fedora Installation :: F11 - Graphical Install Fails - Text Install Has No Fdisk

Jun 28, 2009

I have been using Redhat/Fedora for 11 years. I don't understand why Fedora 11, can't even do a vga graphical install, when Windows can.

I tried many parameters, including xdriver=vesa, and it cannot used graphical install.

So, I tried text install, which I have done many times in the past.

However, F11 seems crippled, in that it will NOT do the same install achievable from a graphical install.

It will NOT allow the use of fdisk, and it will NOT allow any selection of any packages.

What is the point of this option?

Even after trying all of this, for a dual boot install, and F11 claims to have installed, there is no grub or equivalent, and the computer just boots windows, just like Fedora 11 did absolutely nothing.

What are the options now? Why is text install so crippled and incomplete? Why is standard VGA mode so hard?
