Public bug reported: In file /plugins/common/gsd-input-helper.c in function run_custom_command the variable exit_status doesn't contain the exit status of the process, so the statement "return (exit_status == 1);" is wrong.
The documentation (https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-Spawning-Processes.html#g-spawn-sync) says: exit_status return location for child exit status, as returned by waitpid(), or NULL. And in the documentation of waitpid (http://linux.die.net/man/2/waitpid) exit_status is described. You have to do something like this: if (WIFEXITED(exit_status) == FALSE) { return FALSE; } return (WEXITSTATUS(exit_status) == 1); ** Affects: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1339244 Title: Comparison of exit_status in run_custom_command is wrong To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1339244/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
