Again, this has happened. The strace of gksu is the same as I previously posted as well, this time update-manager was run in a terminal and prior to this problem it reported:
... /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py:561: Warning: gsignal.c:1741: instance `0x9b34c50' has no handler with id `287' button.disconnect(id); /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py:561: Warning: gsignal.c:1741: instance `0x8733b40' has no handler with id `286' button.disconnect(id); /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py:561: Warning: gsignal.c:1741: instance `0x8733ad0' has no handler with id `285' button.disconnect(id); /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py:561: Warning: gsignal.c:1741: instance `0x8733a60' has no handler with id `283' button.disconnect(id); GNOME_SUDO_PASS and that's where gksu and sudo are sitting, but no dialog to enter the password. -- gksu doesn't always pop up a dialog https://launchpad.net/bugs/91151 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
