That was a clear explanation of what was happening. Is there a workaround for this? If so why shouldn't the workaround be made in the default installation so that newbies are not put off? Also, why is it that kdesu needs two instances of sudo? -- kdesu fails when invoked immediately after sudo

I will concisely document here my reasoning. In essence, 'kdesu' needs two instances of 'sudo', and each 'sudo' needs a terminal (tty) or, in this case, a pseudo-terminal (pts). This is because '/etc/sudoers' defines that we are using "tty_tickets", i.e. that for each tty or pts we need to input t

A common typo. You mean bug #50971. I believe your interpretation of what happens is correct. Incidentally, I have been exploring this issue too, after my last comment, and meaning to post here in essence the same explanation as yours. (I arrived at the same conclusion based on observing what hap

I just experienced this, trying to launch an application (synaptic) requiring kdesu after a number of commands involving sudo in a konsole. All I got was the launch feedback, but no kdesu dialog. A 'sudo -K' actually helped, oddly enough. And no, I don't currently have a way to reproduce this. --

I can't really tell how long it takes, often no more than a few minutes if I had to guess. I use Edgy and the easiest way to reproduce this is to do a 'sudo ...' in e.g. konsole, 'exit' and trying to run Adept as soon as possible. Sometimes it's (seemingly) persistent and the only thing that works

Jera, do you also have a long time between the kdesu dialogue opening. For both of you, what happens when you type "exit" after you use sudo in the konsole and try to open Adept. Does this problem persist? What kind of systems are you both using? Do you have any ideas on ways to reproduce these bug

I can confirm this problem, but it occurs at random. When I use sudo in a console and immediately try to open Adept, it sometimes refuses to show the kdesu dialog. -- kdesu fails when invoked immediately after sudo from terminal https://launchpad.net/bugs/72545 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubu
