Package: gksu-polkit Version: 0.0.2-1 amd64 The system where the problem occurs is an Ubuntu lucid alpha 3 development version; I have not tested it on other systems.Here is what happens:
I am trying to replace gksu with gksu-polkit in the .desktop file of synaptic. The version 0.0.1-1 available in the repo does not even show me the password dialog. Thus I downloaded and installed the amd64 0.0.2-1 version from: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/main/gksu-polkit After applying the changes indicated in comment 15 of the following thread, I am now able to make synaptic start with root privileges by using gksu-polkit and also to install and remove packages with synaptic (which is a package manager). https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=449159 (By the way, could you not add the two lines about the path directly to the source?) And now to the problem: After entering the password and clicking on the Authentification button of the dialog, the gksu-polkit takes 100% cpu according to the top command in the terminal, and continues to do so also after quitting synaptic. I have to "killall -9 gksu-polkit" by hand in the terminal. (It does not get killed without the -9.) By the way, should gksu-polkit not automatically disappear after synaptic has opened or maybe after I quit synaptic? Feel free to ask for further information if it can be helpful. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
