Public bug reported: pkexec fails with the error:
ERROR:pkexec.c:138:pam_conversation_function: code should not be reached in up-to-date Ubuntu 11.10. I have taken a look to the source code and it seems related to the fake conversation function used when PAM is invoked (pkexec.c:160 in packaged sources -.orig-). In my system I have a fprint PAM module to authenticate, but it also fails after disabling it. Policykit authentication other than pkexec seems to work properly. A look at polkitagenthelper-pam.c shows that a proper concersation function is used. I guess a similar function could be used for pkexec, but I have not enough skills on pam/policykit to address this. Thanks in advance Vreixo ** Affects: policykit (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/875402 Title: pkexec fails with ERROR:pkexec.c:138:pam_conversation_function: code should not be reached To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit/+bug/875402/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
