Thanks for getting back. I refactored my application to use pkexec, so idk when i'll get around to testing this. Unfortunately, due to the super old policykit package in debian/ubuntu my app still doesn't work in ubuntu and probably won't support ubuntu until 23.10, assuming policykit-1 122 makes it in. Also, looks like it has some gtk4 bugs that don't happen in fedora. I'll see how 23.10 fairs.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 2026307] Re: ssh-askpass-gnome pops up for every sudo command
Hmm, I tested the workaround on lunar too just to make sure and it works for me. After the .desktop file is created the inhibitShortcutsDialog will show up one more time. Notably the description of the dialog box will change to contain the Name entry for the desktop file - in this case "GNOME ssh-askpass" rather than the executable name "gnome-ssh- askpass". After clicking "allow" it shouldn't pop up ever again. If it still has that name the Exec path may be wrong in the desktop file. Make sure it says "Exec=/usr/lib/openssh/gnome-ssh-askpass". Alternatively the local desktop file entry just might not be working and it may be worth adding the file to /usr/share/applications/ instead. This also works for me.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 2026307] Re: ssh-askpass-gnome pops up for every sudo command
adding the .desktop file and logging back in and re-running did not fix the issue for me with 23.04, unfortunately. To be clear, my app is calling multiple of these commands and the bug is that one "allow" and one password entry are not enough. both dialogs pop up for each invocation of the SUOD_ASKPASS commands as if no gnome inhibitShortcuts preference or password were entered. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to openssh in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2026307 Title: ssh-askpass-gnome pops up for every sudo command Status in openssh package in Ubuntu: New Status in openssh source package in Jammy: Triaged Status in openssh source package in Kinetic: Triaged Status in openssh source package in Lunar: Triaged Bug description: When running multiple commands like this: SUDO_ASKPASS=/usr/lib/openssh/gnome-ssh-askpass sudo -A cp ./ez_bkup /usr/local/bin/ from my gtk4 app, the ssh-askpass-gnome dialog and the gnome inhibitShortcutsDialog pops up. i click allow on the inhibitShortcutsDialog, then enter my password, which is accepted, then they both pop up again for each of these sudo commands my app calls.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 2026307] Re: ssh-askpass-gnome pops up for every sudo command
btw, if i sit there and click "allow" and enter the sudo password for every sudo command my app envokes, it will eventually process all of them. So, it's like the preference for the "inhibit shortcuts" dialog is not being saved, and the sudo auth is not being saved for the 15 min or whatever it's set for. I find it odd that both of these things would fail, but maybe one is interfering with the other. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to openssh in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2026307 Title: ssh-askpass-gnome pops up for every sudo command Status in openssh package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When running multiple commands like this: SUDO_ASKPASS=/usr/lib/openssh/gnome-ssh-askpass sudo -A cp ./ez_bkup /usr/local/bin/ from my gtk4 app, the ssh-askpass-gnome dialog and the gnome inhibitShortcutsDialog pops up. i click allow on the inhibitShortcutsDialog, then enter my password, which is accepted, then they both pop up again for each of these sudo commands my app calls.
