Package: gksu Version: 2.0.2-6 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I wanted to run nautilus as root from a standard (not admin) account. I tried to do this by running gksu nautilus, and it seemed to work, but after a bit it froze, allowing me to move the mouse but nothing else. I could access the tty, and so I could see that gnome-shell and tomboy had very hight cpu usages (~100%, first tomboy, then when I killed it, gnome). In the end I had to shut the computer down. I found that this happened when I ran gksu nautilus either through alt-f2 in gnome shell to get command prompt, or using synapse. It also happened in KDE plasma to a large extent, although I was unable to access tty to see what was going on. This did not happen when running simply nautilus through command prompt, or running gsku with other programs (gksu dolphin), or when running nautilus as root more generally. To run nautilus as root another way, I was unable to do it through root terminal as it refused to launch nautilus, but I was able to do so through normal terminal running from and admin account and then running sudo nautilus. Ideally it would run fine and wouldn't crash. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.14-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gksu depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 2.12.0-1 ii libc6 2.19-1 ii libcairo2 1.12.16-2 ii libfontconfig1 2.11.0-5 ii libfreetype6 2.5.2-1 ii libgconf2-4 3.2.6-2 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.30.7-1 ii libgksu2-0 2.0.13~pre1-7 ii libglib2.0-0 2.40.0-3 ii libgnome-keyring0 3.4.1-1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.23-1 ii libpango1.0-0 1.36.3-1 ii libstartup-notification0 0.12-3 ii sudo 1.8.9p5-1 Versions of packages gksu recommends: ii gnome-keyring 3.8.2-2+b1 gksu suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
