I believe I accidentally found the root of the problem. I had my user on the sudoers file to NOT ask for the password for anything:
username ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL Apparently the fact that it required no password was what was making it choke. I tested it by reseting the sudoers file to the default state: %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL after rebooting to make sure everything was fine, and after that it worked perfectly. -- rapache asks twice for password and hangs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/308733 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Rapache Developers, which is a direct subscriber. Status in rapache: New Bug description: When run without strace (log attached) when I perform an operation (restart, stop, enable or disable module) it doesn't recognize the password the first time around. It then asks again for the password and it works. Any subsequent operation will hang rapache and lock the screen after a failed password check. I have to switch to console and kill it by hand to regain control. When run with strace it doesn't hang, but it doesn't seem to do anything either. It asks for the password only once, but it doesn't perform the requested operation. The attached strace log contains the following operations: 1 open 2 try to restart + password prompt 3 try to stop + password prompt 4 exit _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~rapache-devel Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~rapache-devel More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
