Good point about gksudo. But I'm not sure I understand Roberto's answer: I know that sudo doesn't time out for a while, and that's OK. I expect to be able to run several apps with sudo and enter the password just once. What concerns me is that this is applied to applications that are _not_ run with sudo. That is, if I run:
$ sudo first-app [enter password] $ sudo second-app [no password] $ third-app [no password, of course] Then I wouldn't expect the third-app to get super-user privileges just because it runs a sub-process with sudo. It should only apply to apps where I manually specify sudo on the command line. -- update-manager has root privileges after sudo was used https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/172695 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
