[Touch-packages] [Bug 1288786] Re: pkexec does not launch graphical authentication
No, pkexec per default does not start a graphical application for security reasons. If you want to start a graphical application with pkexec, you need a policy in /usr/share/polkit-1/actions. But, nowadays, it mostly isn't necessary to start a graphical application with elevated privileges, because there are better alternatives. On *buntu 18.04, synaptic does have a policy => https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/amd64/synaptic/filelist You can start it with synaptic-pkexec. The same command is used in /usr/share/applications/synaptic.desktop If it does not work and you have a policy, please check, that the PolicyKit Authentication Agent is running (lxsession-default-apps in section autostart) and logout/login. I don't understand, how "su -l $other_user" is related to this bug report? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to policykit-1 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1288786 Title: pkexec does not launch graphical authentication Status in policykit-1 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Installed Trusty Tahr Lubuntu Beta1 version and added xubuntu desktop. In buth desktops, I tried to launch synaptic to install some packages. If I try to launch from menu, nothing seems to happen. From a terminal, I ran pkexec "/usr/sbin/synaptic" and saw that it asks for password in the terminal window, instead of popping up an authentication window like previous Ubuntu version did. That was why I saw no authentication request when launching from menu.. I have a workaround)launching from Terminal window), but this should be fixed before release. ralph@minnie:~$ cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=14.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=trusty DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (development branch)" ralph@minnie:~$ pkexec --version pkexec version 0.105 Thanks To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-1/+bug/1288786/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Touch-packages] [Bug 1601932] Re: Xenial start problems with change UUID in fstab
As far as I know, the mounting is handled by systemd. To avoid other errors and problems, systemd aborts the booting process when a partition is missing. In my opinion, this is not a bug, but the expected behaviour. ** Package changed: ubuntu => systemd (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1601932 Title: Xenial start problems with change UUID in fstab Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Xenial started correct. Now an UUID changes because a partition was reformatted. The new UUID is independent of Xenial. Xenial aborts the start, since the new UUID is not registered in fstab. Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04, 14.10 and 15.04 and 15.10 have no problems with the changed UUID. Many years ago there was this error.
