Hi everyone, Is this bug solved? I've juste upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 and neither gksu nor gksudo work with the option --user: both always answer that selected user password is wrong though this user belongs to sudo group.
An example: Session opened with user "johan" that doesn't belong to sudo group and a try to open Thunar with user "administrateur" (member of the sudo group): johan@johan-backup:~$ gksu -d -u administrateur thunar No ask_pass set, using default! xauth: /tmp/libgksu-KKWb4O/.Xauthority STARTUP_ID: gksu/thunar/3548-0-johan-backup_TIME2551651 cmd[0]: /usr/bin/sudo cmd[1]: -H cmd[2]: -S cmd[3]: -p cmd[4]: GNOME_SUDO_PASS cmd[5]: -u cmd[6]: administrateur cmd[7]: -- cmd[8]: thunar buffer: -GNOME_SUDO_PASS- brute force GNOME_SUDO_PASS ended... Yeah, we're in... xauth: /tmp/libgksu-KKWb4O/.Xauthority xauth_env: /home/johan/.Xauthority dir: /tmp/libgksu-KKWb4O No ask_pass set, using default! xauth: /tmp/libgksu-mDF1RN/.Xauthority cmd[0]: /usr/bin/sudo cmd[1]: -H cmd[2]: -S cmd[3]: -p cmd[4]: GNOME_SUDO_PASS cmd[5]: -u cmd[6]: administrateur cmd[7]: -- cmd[8]: thunar buffer: -GNOME_SUDO_PASS- brute force GNOME_SUDO_PASS ended... Yeah, we're in... xauth: /tmp/libgksu-mDF1RN/.Xauthority xauth_env: /home/johan/.Xauthority dir: /tmp/libgksu-mDF1RN No ask_pass set, using default! xauth: /tmp/libgksu-s1ID6U/.Xauthority cmd[0]: /usr/bin/sudo cmd[1]: -H cmd[2]: -S cmd[3]: -p cmd[4]: GNOME_SUDO_PASS cmd[5]: -u cmd[6]: administrateur cmd[7]: -- cmd[8]: thunar buffer: -GNOME_SUDO_PASS- brute force GNOME_SUDO_PASS ended...
