Created attachment 1275712 [details] Error screenshot Description of problem: When I try, for example, to set priority to "Very Hight" in a task then I get an error "It is likely you don't have the required privileges". It should normally ask for my password using xfce4 polkit like `gnome-system-monitor` does. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.2.0-2.fc26 How reproducible: everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open xfce4-taskmanager 2. Try to do an action which requires elevated privileges like setting priority, killing root task, etc... 3. See that it throws an error instead of asking your password Additional info: I attach screenshot with the error.
This should be something we should file upstream. Can you file this upstream or would you prefer that I do?
Yeah you are right just tested on manjaro and it happens there too (never noticed it before). I prefer that you file this upstream, because I don't have any experience with xfce's bugzilla.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '26'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
