Package: xbase-clients Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 Severity: normal Tags: patch
Hello, a small problem with the menu entry for xconsole in xbase-clients: normal user can't/shouldn't use it, but with the actual conf, only root can use this from the window menu. Why not define it using sudo, so that selected users can access it directly from the menu ? Patch included to show how I implemented it locally. Best regards Pascal Dupuis *** diff -bBu xbase-clients.orig xbase-clients --- xbase-clients.orig 2004-12-21 09:14:30.000000000 +0100 +++ xbase-clients 2004-12-21 09:15:15.000000000 +0100 @@ -62,7 +62,7 @@ section="Apps/System"\ longtitle="Xconsole: monitor system console messages with X"\ title="Xconsole"\ - command="xconsole" + command="sudo /usr/X11R6/bin/xconsole -file /dev/xconsole" ?package(xbase-clients):\ needs="x11"\ section="Apps/Tools"\ *** -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.9 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages xbase-clients depends on: ii cpp 4:3.3.4-2 The GNU C preprocessor (cpp) ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdps1 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 Display PostScript (DPS) client li ii libexpat1 1.95.8-1 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libfontconfig1 2.2.3-4 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.1.7-2.3 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:3.4.2-2 GCC support library ii libice6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libncurses5 5.4-4 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-1 PNG library - runtime ii libsm6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System Session Management ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.4-13 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libxaw7 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Athena widget set library ii libxcursor1 1.1.3-1 X cursor management library ii libxext6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxft2 2.1.2-6 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxi6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System Input extension li ii libxmu6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System miscellaneous util ii libxmuu1 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 lightweight X Window System miscel ii libxpm4 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X pixmap library ii libxrandr2 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System Resize, Rotate and ii libxrender1 0.8.3-7 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii libxtrap6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System protocol-trapping ii libxtst6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System event recording an ii libxv1 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System video extension li ii xlibmesa-gl [libgl1] 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 Mesa 3D graphics library [XFree86] ii xlibmesa-glu [libglu1] 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 Mesa OpenGL utility library [XFree ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System client libraries m ii xlibs-data 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System client data ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-3 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information
