Description Anders F Björklund 2008-09-04 13:21:59 UTC

Trying to start up Smart as root with: smart-root --gui
gives the helpful dialog "Unknown error" and an "OK"...

Seems to be PAM-related, since copying /etc/pam.d/synaptic
over /etc/pam.d/smart-root seems to made it work again ?


Installing gksu and using gksu -- smart --gui also works.
But I think using consolehelper is the Fedora preferred ?

Trying to start up Smart as user with: smart-root --gui

Normally I get a prompt for root password. It was working fine before the .newkey update. It also works if I su - then smart --gui.

Comment 2 Steven Usdansky 2008-09-11 12:08:07 UTC

/etc/pam.d/smart-root is not present after upgrading to the smart-1.0.54.fc10.i386 packages. I kept a copy of my old file, and copied it back into place after upgrading smart. It works.

Comment 3 Brad 2008-09-11 17:01:55 UTC

I do not know if this is the correct way to do this or not, but I replaced:

auth       required	pam_stack.so service=system-auth

with:

auth       include	system-auth

In the /etc/pam.d/smart-root file.
