* debian/local/scripts/hp-plugin-ubuntu: Use pkexec instead of gksu (LP: #1496980). -- Till Kamppeter <till.kamppe...@gmail.com> Thu, 17 Sep 2015 21:24:00 -0300 ** Changed in: hplip (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to hplip in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1527001 Title: hp-plugin hangs at invisible sudo prompt after download of plugin files Status in hplip package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: After downloading the plugin files with the recommended method and accepting the license agreement the installation routine hangs (doesn't proceed over multiple hours without any CPU or I/O load) after output `Number of files to install: 42` which is likely to be caused by a spawned process with the `cmdline` `/usr/bin/sudo/usr/bin/pythoninstallPlugin.py` which might request the user's `sudo` password which isn't visible for the user (and expected to be requested in a dialog anyway).
