Bug description: kdesudo stops working (does not launch the password dialog) in the current KDE login session, but it used to work in a previous login session. This bug is observed in a fresh install of Debian squeeze (with KDE desktop selected) from debian-6.0.1a-amd64-1386-netinst.iso Reproduction: -- restart/reboot the system. -- login to KDE desktop session. -- open anything requiring root permission (eg. synaptic or kuser). -- kdesudo will open dialog for root password. -- do not select the "remember password" checkbox. -- enter root password to start the application, then quit the application. -- logout. -- login again to KDE desktop session (same user as above). -- open anything requiring root permission (eg. synaptic or kuser). -- kdesudo will no longer work for this user. -- restart/reboot the system to reproduce the above. Additional info: Restarting the xserver using the menu on the login screen does not help. The only fix I found was to restart/reboot. The bug is user-account specific. That is, kdesudo can be working for one user but be broken for another (until restart/reboot). Work around: Always select the "remember password" checkbox. Then kdesudo will still work for you after logout/login. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages kdesudo depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0 1.5.36.1 Debian configuration management sy ii kdebase-runtime 4:4.4.5-1 runtime components from the offici ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.4.5-8 GCC support library ii libkdecore5 4:4.4.5-2+squeeze1 the KDE Platform Core Library ii libkdeui5 4:4.4.5-2+squeeze1 the KDE Platform User Interface Li ii libqt4-dbus 4:4.6.3-4 Qt 4 D-Bus module ii libqt4-svg 4:4.6.3-4 Qt 4 SVG module ii libqtcore4 4:4.6.3-4 Qt 4 core module ii libqtgui4 4:4.6.3-4 Qt 4 GUI module ii libstdc++6 4.4.5-8 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii sudo 1.7.4p4-2.squeeze.2 Provide limited super user privile kdesudo recommends no packages. kdesudo suggests no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
