| 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 | 16:38 |
| nacc | brainwash: it worked here, but did pop-up a GUI | 16:40 |
| brainwash | ok. thanks for testing it. | 16:41 |
| nacc | brainwash: this is on 16.04, though :) | 16:42 |
| nacc | brainwash: so noticing the chan, maybe it's broken in 16.10 :) | 16:42 |
| flocculant | brainwash: working here | 16:43 |
| 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 | 16:44 |
| flocculant | welcome :) | 16:46 |
| BluesKaj | nacc, ran sudo pkexec bash in 16.10 just sets up the terminal as root user , is this what's expected? | 16:47 |
| nacc | BluesKaj: i think so? brainwash --^ :) | 16:48 |
| 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 | 16:49 |
| 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 :) | 16:50 |
| 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? | 16:51 |
| 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 | 16:52 |
| BluesKaj | prompt even | 16:53 |
| brainwash | yes, that's the expected result. thanks for testing it :) | 16:53 |
| BluesKaj | i use yakuake so the dropdown disappeared after the popup asking for the pw, when i checked yakuake again it was root | 16:54 |
| BluesKaj | ok good ...what is pkexec bash anyway , jsua method to drop to root ? | 16:55 |
| BluesKaj | just | 16:55 |
| brainwash | yes | 16:55 |
