We should patch adept to recommend kdesudo. ** Changed in: adept (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = High Status: New = Triaged ** Summary changed: - Hardy: Running sudo adept_updater / adept_manager etc. under non-KDE sets group/user of .ICEauthority to 'root' + Recommend that users launch Adept with kdesudo -- Recommend that users launch Adept with kdesudo https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203331 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Almost Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to adept in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

Ah, sorry about that, my mistake, I should've checked before posting my comment. I am not fully aware of all the reasons, but the correct practice is indeed to use the graphical sudoes (gksudo or kdesudo) to launch graphical programs. Hence, I don't know if this will be considered a bug, or whether this could be prevented by adept. -- Hardy: Running sudo adept_updater / adept_manager etc. under non-KDE sets group/user of .ICEauthority to 'root' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203331 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

OK, I know about the gksudo/kdesudo recommendation. And I wouldn't have written this bug report if the consequences of using plain sudo instead were adept_* erroring out or something like that. But being prevented from graphical login altogether is more than just a minor annoyance. How many novice Kubuntu users that just want to try out Gnome (where this unexpected behaviour shows up, too) are expected to know that there even is a .ICEauthority (which doesn't even show up in the graphical file managers in their default configuration)? -- Hardy: Running sudo adept_updater / adept_manager etc. under non-KDE sets group/user of .ICEauthority to 'root' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203331 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I just read the release notes for Adept 3.0 alpha 5 on the blog of the application's developer: [quote] If you have sudo (Kubuntu-ers do, the rest can use kdesu or similar): sudo adept sudo adept installer sudo adept updater [/quote] So much for [gk|kde]sudo... ;-) -- Hardy: Running sudo adept_updater / adept_manager etc. under non-KDE sets group/user of .ICEauthority to 'root' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203331 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Does running it with 'sudo -i adept_manager' prevent the problem? -- Hardy: Running sudo adept_updater / adept_manager etc. under non-KDE sets group/user of .ICEauthority to 'root' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203331 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
