The way apport works, it can't hold onto the root password between
function calls.  This bug was "solved" by attaching all three gdm files
in one function call.

However, the display manager data and the kernel data require separate
function calls, and since both require sudo to do so, you get prompted
twice.  Still an undesired behavior, but not this bug.

  * New upstream release:
- Ensure that symptom scripts define a run() function, and don't show them
  if not.
- Do not show symptom scripts which start with an underscore. These can be
  used for private libraries for the actual symptom scripts.
- Update bash completion. Thanks Philip Muškovac.
- etc/default/apport: Remove obsolete "maxsize" setting. (LP: #719564)
- Remove explicit handling of KDE *.ui files in setup.py, as
  python-distutils-extra 2.24 fixes this. Bump version check.
- hookutils.py: Add attach_root_command_outputs() to run several commands
  at once. This avoids asking for the password several times.
  (LP: #716595)
  * debian/apport.postinst: Add missing debhelper token.
  * debian/rules: Drop dump_acpi_tables.py chmod workaround, it's upstream now
and has the proper permissions.
  * Add etc/apport/blacklist.d/apport and drop the creation of it in
/debian/rules. This is easier to maintain and more obvious. Also move
README.blacklist from python-apport to apport, it fits better there.
  * etc/apport/blacklist.d/apport: Add the binaries of nspluginwrapper, as we
can't do anything about them anyway. (LP: #717468)

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 716595] Re: Apport hook prompts 3 times for password

2011-02-16 Thread Martin Pitt 
Fixed upstream. I added a new method

def attach_root_command_outputs(report, command_map):
'''Execute multiple commands as root and put their outputs into report.

command_map is a keyname -> 'shell command' dictionary with the commands to
run. They are all run through /bin/sh, so you need to take care of shell
escaping yourself. To include stderr output of a command, end it with
"2>&1".

Just like root_command_output() this will use gksu, kdesudo, or sudo for
gaining root privileges, depending on the running desktop environment.

This is preferrable to using root_command_output() multiple times, as that
will ask for the password every time.

You need to cat all gdm log files at once, and then pick them apart
yourself (or just store them in one key).

I have to think about how to run multiple programs and store their
individual outputs in one go. I have an idea, but it will take some
more effort to implement. I hope I can get to that in the next week,
though.

What is your recommendation for how we can work around this in the hook?

So, we can't fix that in sudo or libgksu; with "forkpty" it's even
worse, as a new TTY will be allocated every time.

Restoring back to xorg (for updating the hook) and apport (for providing
better API).

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 716595] Re: Apport hook prompts 3 times for password

2011-02-11 Thread Bryce Harrington 
Unfortunately, in looking into this it's not easy to fix, at least not
in the apport hook itself.

The code in question is:
report['GdmLog']  = root_collect_file_contents('/var/log/gdm/:0.log')
report['GdmLog1'] = root_collect_file_contents('/var/log/gdm/:0.log.1')
report['GdmLog2'] = root_collect_file_contents('/var/log/gdm/:0.log.2')

Each of the root_collect_file_contents() calls essentially calls and
return root_command_output(['cat', path]).  root_command_output() is one
of the stock apport lib routines.

So the question is, why isn't root_command_output() caching the sudo
permission from one call to the next?
