[Solved] Fluxbox and gksu
Posted: Mon Jun 30, 2008 1:14 am
Hello. I am trying to launch apps that require a root password using gksu. Unfortunately I have encountered two problems:
1. gksu is a little slow.
2. If gksu is used to launch more than one app, gksu does not ask for a root password.
I did a lot of research. For the first problem, it was suggested that I edit /etc/gksu.conf with "disable -grab=yes". Unfortunately, this file does not exist. So I did some more research and found that gksu.conf was replaced with gconf and that a migration script is used to migrate the gksu.conf. I have searched a great deal and I can't find a config file for gksu. If I could find one, then maybe I could edit it as needed. Or if I had an old gksu.conf file, then maybe I could install that and let the migration tool do its job. Any ideas? Thanks.
