Strike that. The hack causes fatal error on reboot when the system attempts to load X-server the screen begins flickering and issuing a permissions error and continues flickering until reset button is hit on the machine. I can no longer boot into my Karmic partition and cannot access the data on it so I'm going to reinstall. -- Attempting to enable Desktop Effects causes Jockey to ask for password not set by user https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444388 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 444388] Re: Attempting to enable Desktop Effects causes Jockey to ask for password not set by user
Yep me too. After install I'm having the same problem with multiple applications. I tried setting the root password using $sudo su passwd$ and also tried setting it in the user dialog. It still doesn't work. Your hack works, but I agree something is wrong with the user privilage settings. Maybe another app is excessivly blocking application privlages.

[Bug 444388] Re: Attempting to enable Desktop Effects causes Jockey to ask for password not set by user
Same here but I am not running from live syste, it is my installation with last updates (9.10). Normally it should ask for user password because I am admin of computer but for some reason it is asking for "root" password that I never set since ubuntu uses sudo. If I try: sudo /usr/bin/jockey-gtk it don't ask for password and works. I think that it is a System Policy problem because I have now the same problem with other applications like "Users and Groups". -- Attempting to enable Desktop Effects causes Jockey to ask for password not set by user https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444388 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
