Another patch that fixes the startup notification when you push cancel. It is not possible without huge changes to fix the problem of the notification timing out if you take a while to enter your password. This is because sudo is run by libgksu over the whole time passwords are entered. When a password succeeds sudo just runs the application. This means you must give the startup notification ID to sudo...
On a side note, it would be much better if ubuntu used something more like vista's UAC. E.g. instead of entering a password you just push Allow or Deny. The reason for this is that entering your password is annoying, and is open to phishing style attacks. With just a simple allow or deny it would be secure against phishing attacks. Implementing it securely would not be an easy task. ** Attachment added: "libgksu-cancel.patch" http://librarian.launchpad.net/7408468/libgksu-cancel.patch -- [Edgy + Feisty] Startup Notification broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/66518 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
