User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:28.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/28.0 Build Identifier: I'm running Fedora with root login disabled by setting an empty password. Starting gparted via GUI or by running ``gparted`` from terminal shows a dialog asking for the root password. It doesn't accept an empty password, nor my user password (as with pkexec). So, the only way to start gparted is by running ``sudo gparted`` from terminal. It would be nice to query for the user password if the root user is disabled and the user is able to ``sudo``. IIRC, Debian uses pkexec to enable this. Would it be possible to ship a pkexec file for gparted? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Disable root user by setting an empty password. 2. Start gparted via icon or terminal Actual Results: A window is shown querying for a root password, which is not available. Expected Results: A window is shown querying for the USER password (as in gksudo).
