Bug#575403: Scripts-button ineffective
Package: wicd Version: 1.7.0+ds1-5 Severity: normal After a lot of debugging I believe it is related to the fact that I cannot run a command like: $ gksudo ls on my system... The result is a blink on the screen and the error message: (gksudo:8199): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_str_has_prefix: assertion `str != NULL' failed On the other hand, $ gksu ls works fine. Both ask for a password, and causes the screen to blink white after the correct password was inputted, but only the latter command produces useful output. I have hacked in support for wicd to run gksu-polkit instead of gksudo, and now I am able to configure the scripts. Now that I think of it, perhaps I should have tried to convert wicd to use gksu instead of gksudo. - Torquil -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.35.4 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages wicd depends on: ii wicd-daemon 1.7.0+ds1-5 wired and wireless network manager ii wicd-gtk [wicd-client] 1.7.0+ds1-5 wired and wireless network manager wicd recommends no packages. wicd suggests no packages.

Package: wicd-gtk Version: 1.7.0+ds1-2 Severity: normal While the password prompt shows, I have a process 'gksudo' running. That is probably it. I can find no gtksu in Debian with the command 'apt-file search gtksu'. Conincidentally, I'm running Gnome instead of XFCE nowadays, and the problem still presists. Do I need a special line in my sudoers file? No error message appears on the command line as the password prompt fails to present me with the Scripts configuration window.

Just for the sake of testing, would you please try adding the following line to your /etc/sudoers ? youruser ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL Just curious if the message disappears.

Package: wicd-gtk Version: 1.7.0+ds1-2 Severity: normal Yes, the problem disappears after I add that line to sudoers. What happens now is: 1) I press the Scripts button 2) I get an info window informing me about starting a window with root priveliges without using a password. The title is Granted permissions without asking for password. The Configure scripts window appears at the same time. The message in the info window is (quote): * The '/usr/share/wicd/gtk/configscript.py '0' 'wireless'' program was started with the privileges of the root user without the need to ask for a password, due to your system's authentication mechanism setup. It is possible that you are being allowed to run specific programs as user root without the need for a password, or that the password is cached. This is not a problem report; it's simply a notification to make sure you are aware of this. I'll probably not keep that sudoers line since it is probably a security risk. Maybe I'll include a more restrictive version of it. Btw, my user is a member of the following groups (in addition to the group with the same name as the user): dialout cdrom floppy audio video plugdev bluetooth powerdev netdev Best regards Torquil Sørensen -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages wicd-gtk depends on: ii python 2.5.4-9 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-glade22.17.0-2GTK+ bindings: Glade support ii python-gtk2 2.17.0-2Python bindings for the GTK+ widge ii wicd-daemon 1.7.0+ds1-2 wired and wireless network manager Versions of packages wicd-gtk recommends: ii gksu 2.0.2-2+b1 graphical frontend to su ii python-notify 0.1.1-2+b2 Python bindings for libnotify ii sudo 1.7.2p6-1 Provide limited super user privile wicd-gtk suggests no packages.
