[11:53] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[15:47] <nicomachus> ಠ_ಠ
[16:38] <brainwash> does pkexec still work? running "pkexec bash" gives me following error:
[16:38] <brainwash>  polkit-agent-helper-1: error response to PolicyKit daemon: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: No session for cookie
[16:40] <nacc> brainwash: it worked here, but did pop-up a GUI
[16:41] <brainwash> ok. thanks for testing it.
[16:42] <nacc> brainwash: this is on 16.04, though :)
[16:42] <nacc> brainwash: so noticing the chan, maybe it's broken in 16.10 :)
[16:43] <flocculant> brainwash: working here
[16:44] <brainwash> ohh. yeah, I'm running 16.10 and the last time I've used pkexec was like half a year ago during the dev cycle of 16.04.
[16:44] <brainwash> flocculant: nice, thanks
[16:46] <flocculant> welcome :)
[16:47] <BluesKaj> nacc, ran sudo pkexec bash in 16.10 just sets up the terminal as root user , is this what's expected?
[16:48] <nacc> BluesKaj: i think so? brainwash --^ :)
[16:49] <brainwash> uhm, why the sudo?
[16:49] <flocculant> brainwash: I assumed you meant running that from a terminal btw - running it from alt+f2 does nothing
[16:50] <brainwash> right, you have to run it inside a terminal
[16:50] <flocculant> BluesKaj: shouldn't need sudo and pkexec btw
[16:50] <flocculant> brainwash: just checking :)
[16:51] <BluesKaj> just tried it without sudo and a got a popup asking for pw , after entering the pw ...nothing
[16:51] <BluesKaj> brainwash,^
[16:51] <brainwash> nothing?
[16:52] <brainwash> you are supposed to run the command in a terminal window
[16:52] <brainwash> or run "pkexec whoami" which will return "root"
[16:52] <BluesKaj> ok it shows as root in the terminal peompt
[16:52] <brainwash> it's just a simple test
[16:53] <BluesKaj> prompt even
[16:53] <brainwash> yes, that's the expected result. thanks for testing it :)
[16:54] <BluesKaj> i use yakuake so the dropdown disappeared after the popup asking for the pw, when i checked yakuake again it was root
[16:55] <BluesKaj> ok good ...what is pkexec bash anyway , jsua method to drop to root ?
[16:55] <BluesKaj> just
[16:55] <brainwash> yes
