try to install "usermode-gtk" I am working on skipping the use of usermode (consoleheler) to ask for root access and use PolicyKit instead, it should make it work better with a redirected DISPLAY, like when running it over an ssh connection. a work around could be to run yumex as root using su - yumex --root and it will not ask for a password Yes, usermode-gtk fixed the problem. Thank you for the information. I do not know PolicyKit, I am not really an administrator (yet :), but what I meant was that usermode-gtk should be an explicit dependency for yumex (at least for now) I have just released a new version, 3.0.5, it should eliminate the need for usermode-gtk, then running over ssh. It should be available in epel6 testing repos very soon. usermode is no longer needed in current version 3.0.5-2 in EPEL6 |
Description of problem: yumex can not prompt for root password and can not start properly Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.0.4-2.el6 How reproducible: reproducible Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install CentOS 6.2 x86_64 "base server", create user "user" 2. enable CentOS Plus, add rpmforge and EPEL repositories 3. install yumex and xauth using yum 4. connect to the CentOS machine with "ssh -Y -l user ..." from a remote host running a desktop environment 5. start yumex from the ssh session Actual results: yumex can not start properly and can not prompt for root password Expected results: yumex should immediately prompt for the root password Additional info: if you issue yum groupinstall "KDE Desktop" than the hidden dependency gets installed and I can than start yumex. But I would prefer to not install "KDE desktop" grioup on my "base server" installation of CentOS
