Hi all
I just installed gparted for the first time as in the SVN book (version
1.2.0) and it seems that the part about root privileges seems to be
outdated.
I installed gparted without any helper stuff and it seems that the
provided org.gnome.gparted.policy already does the trick: when I call
gparted, it asks me about an admin user and after I enter the password,
gparted starts just fine. ps shows that it runs under root:
timtas@lfsda0:~/src/lgl/src/lgl-2.5/desk/093-gparted$ ps -ef |grep parted
timtas 19549 19445 0 00:35 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh
/opt/X11/bin/gparted
root 19552 19549 0 00:35 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh
/opt/X11/bin/gparted
root 19578 19552 1 00:36 ? 00:00:09 /opt/X11/sbin/gpartedbin
gparted also links against dbus/elogind, which is not listed as a
dependency in the book.
I can't confirm what you found because the very infrequent times I've
run gparted I just use sudo from the command line. However, gparted
does require gtkmm->gtk3->libepoxy->mesa->xorg libraries->elogind
(recommended)
Can anybody confirm this? I can update the page, if nobody else wants to.
If you get someone else to confirm, go ahead and make the change.
