If it is a general thing that g_spawn_*() doesn't work with pkexec then it suggests that the bug is in glib or pk I think.
Is this not a bug everywhere we launch desktop files? The g_app_info_launch() family, which is used extensively throughout Unity, just uses G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH, but would also require G_SPAWN_DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD as seen in Bilal's branch. I wouldn't want to add manual reaping everywhere we do this... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1020115 Title: Partial and release upgrade buttons don't work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-lens-applications/+bug/1020115/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
