The problem occurred on an Ubuntu (Unity desktop) partition I use for testing (not on my primary partition I'm sending this e-mail from), which is Lubuntu 13.04. In that test partition, I did see a dialog appear to enter my password, which I entered, but it rejected it each time, until on the 3rd time it gave up, reporting the password to be bad. In looking with Synaptic Package Manager on that machine, a search for gksudo yields no packages. Likewise, a Synaptic Package Manager search for gksudo on my primary (Lubuntu) partition yielded no packages. On the test (Ubuntu) partition, I tried running checkbox from a terminal, but the behavior was the same. It presented the password dialog, I entered the password, and it rejected it, re-displaying the password dialog. After the 3rd try it reported an error. Interestingly, on my primary machine (a Lubuntu partition), it worked when fired-up checkbox-qt via a terminal command. On the Ubuntu partition, I fired it up using a "checkbox" command. On the Lubuntu partition, I used "checkbox-qt". A possible difference between the two partitions, is that my primary partition actually does have a gnome keyring (because I needed it for using Ubuntu One). The test partition (Ubuntu Unity) does not have a keyring, or at least, I think it doesn't, because it never asks for a keyring password. -- Sincerely, Aere -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1184061 Title: checkbox does not accept my valid (for everything else) password To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/checkbox/+bug/1184061/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
