Description:
Problem launching apps via gksu. Apps like firestarter, for instance will spit out the following error message and will refuse to run: A proper configuration for Firestarter was not found. If you are running Firestarter from the directory you built it in, run 'make install-data-local' to install a configuration, or simply 'make install' to install the whole program. Firestarter will now close. gedit, will return the following message on the console but will continue to run. GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.) gparted, on the other hand, will run without problems. Came across a patch on the the net suggesting that Gnome 2.24 apps be run using dbus. Here's the link: frugalware-git@frugalware.org/msg21999.html"> http://www.mail-archive.com/frugalware-git@frugalware.org/msg21999.html Running the above mentioned apps using "gksu dbus-launch ..." instead of just "gksu ...", will output a warning about failure to connect to the session manager.... but will run normally. Additional info: * gksu 2.0.0-4 * libgksu 2.0.7-1 * gnome-keyring 2.24.1-1 Steps to reproduce: # gksu firestarter |
This task depends upon

su -
firestarter
then it runs but gksu firestarter won't run.

The solution made by the frugalware team is not so clean and i will only use if we are sure that this is not related to Orbit (as suggested in the error message)

I'll try some of the suggestions tonight when I get home from work.

gksu dbus-launcher firestarter
