I already have mtr-gtk installed, and it uses consolehelper. As it happens, it exhibits the same behavior, and uses an identical PAM configuration, which worked in F17 but fails in F19. (I haven't bothered to try it in F18.) Filed bug #974334. Now I'll look for another app that uses consolehelper. Repoquery shows that there are still 49 packages depending on usermode, and presumably at least a few others use consolehelper. > But I think it's trivial to convert an app to use PK > as a simple 'su wrapper' too If so, it's a shame that the polkit documentation doesn't give a trivial example of doing exactly that. Oh well. Thanks! Eric -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

If I were you I'd just look at any app that's still using consolehelper and working, and copy its configuration. Shouldn't be too hard. But I think it's trivial to convert an app to use PK as a simple 'su wrapper' too, though the recommended thing to do is actually take advantage of PK's power and make the app only take root privileges when it really needs them; such a patch would obviously go upstream. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

Re: help requested for consolehelper/pam in gsmartcontrol
I have no idea how it's happening, but I do seem to get another pair
of these messages to /var/log/messages every time I click on
gsmartcontrol in the menu.

"/etc/gdm/Xsession" ?! I'm not even sure what is writing this to
syslog (userhelper would either show the message in a dialog or to
stderr). Might be a red herring, or might indicate a
misconfiguration.
In case it helps, this message is output based on PAM return codes
PAM_{AUTH_ERR,AUTHTOK_ERR,PERM_DENIED}.

help requested for consolehelper/pam in gsmartcontrol
I have gsmartcontrol working with consolehelper in F17, but it fails to launch in F18 and F19, and logs messages like this: Jun 12 19:33:30 localhost /etc/gdm/Xsession[2594]: The password you typed is in\ valid. Jun 12 19:33:30 localhost /etc/gdm/Xsession[2594]: Please try again. I suspect that the pam configuration in /etc/pam.d/gsmartcontrol might need to change. What was working in F17 was: #%PAM-1.0 authinclude config-util account include config-util session include config-util Any advice on what to do or how to debug this will be much appreciated. The bug is #882555. I briefly considered trying to convert it to use polkit, but that looks even more complicated, so if possible I'd like to stick with consolehelper for now. Thanks!
