The query window when attempting to run up2date seems to be asking for the user password (Asks "Password for mkofler") instead of the root password as expected. Entering the user password causes the window to close, and gives the error "Could not set exec context to mkofler:sysadm_r:rpm_t.". Fixed after latest update |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040312 Description of problem: With previous RH versions, clicking on a program that required root permissions to run (up2date, for example, but the problem is occuring with all such programs) brought up a Query window asking for the root password. Once given, the program would load with root permissions. Now, the Query window appears, password is given, and then nothing happens. Invoking the program from ternimal also causes Query window to ask for root password (like expected), but again program fails to load and terminal provides no additional information- terminal returns to new command line as soon as enter is hit to submit root password. From root command line terminal (via su), invoking program works as expected. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. As user, click program requiring root permissions 2. Enter correct root password in query window 3. Brood. Actual Results: Programs failed to load after asking for root password. Expected Results: Programs load as in previous RH versions Additional info:
