if i
visudo MYUSER ALL=(transmission-user) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/transmission-gtk and xhost local:transmission-user sudo -u transmission-user -- /usr/bin/transmission-gtk then it works perfectly. but my original problem is that it needs a "gnome-terminal" (i need the "kdesu" or whatever in a .desktop file): echo -e '#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open\n\n[Desktop Entry]\nVersion=1.0\nType=Application\nTerminal=true\nIcon[en_US]=gdu-encrypted-lock\nName[en_US]=transmission-user\nExec=sudo -u transmission-user -- /usr/bin/transmission-gtk\nName=transmission-user\nIcon=gdu-encrypted-lock' > transmission-user.desktop chmod +x transmission-user.desktop this is important: Terminal=true if i set this to false, it doesn't work. if i set this to true, sudo perfectly works, but theres a gnome-terminal opened. theres no gksu under Fedora 14. but thank you! ---- Be Fri, 11 Feb 2011 03:27:59 -0800 Tom H <tomh0...@gmail.com> írta ---- On Fri, Feb 11, 2011 at 6:09 AM, erikmccaskey64 <erikmccaske...@zoho.com> wrote: > [root@a ~]# kdesudo > bash: kdesudo: command not found... > [root@a ~]# yum search kdesudo > Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit > Adding en_US to language list > Existing lock /var/run/yum.pid: another copy is running as pid 29015. > Another app is currently holding the yum lock; waiting for it to exit... > The other application is: PackageKit > Memory : 25 M RSS ( 66 MB VSZ) > Started: Fri Feb 11 12:05:10 2011 - 00:06 ago > State : Sleeping, pid: 29015 > Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile > * fedora: mirrors.uaip.org > * rpmfusion-free: download1.rpmfusion.org > * rpmfusion-free-updates: download1.rpmfusion.org > * rpmfusion-nonfree: download1.rpmfusion.org > * rpmfusion-nonfree-updates: download1.rpmfusion.org > * updates: mirrors.uaip.org > Warning: No matches found for: kdesudo > No Matches found > [root@a ~]# apropos kdesu > kdesu (1) - Runs a program with elevated privileges > [root@a ~]# apropos kdesudo > [root@a ~]# > > > kdesu was in the "kdebase-runtime" package. but where is kdesudo? It lloks like it's a kubuntu app (!); sorry. http://opendesktop.org/content/show.php/KdeSudo?content=72106 In GNOME, you can set gksu/gksudo to use either su or sudo as a backend either at the cli with "--su-mode" or "--sudo-mode" or permanently in the gconf settings. I don't use KDE so I don't know whether it's possible (it *must* be) and, if it is, how. :( -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
