Bug Description
I created a new user (2nd-user) that will work as administrator.
He belongs to the group admin and sudo
2nd user kann work with the sudo command without any problems.
+++++++
That happens:
but when 2nd-user wants to use the command:
gksu
his password will not be accepted. Only the password of the 1st-user - who has still admin-rights - will be accepted.
2nd-user can not use gksudo.
gksu and gksudo works differently.
When I use gksu at 2nd-user I need password of 1st-user.
Gksu works at 2nd-user neither nor
Here will I report what I have done:
When I am logged in as 1st-user:
Keabordshortcut Control+Shift+r launch nautilus as root
with password of 1st user it will open.
I open terminal
Gksu gedit
is OK
gksudo gedit
Can not open display
DISPLAY=:0 gksudo gedit
Can not open display
I log in as 2nd user
the command sudo works so far for this user.
I can install and remove packages, I can change user with sudo su etc.
Here will be the password for 2nd-user requiered and it works fine.
With keyboardshortcut Control+shift+r I launch nautilus as root
Only with pasword for 1st-user I can open it.
I open the terminal:
gksu gedit
only with password of 1st-user I can open it.
gksu gedit
with password of 2nd-user
Will be ignored without comment, system returns to to terminal
gksudo gedit
I type in password of 2nd-user
Display can not be opend
gksudo gedit
with password of 1st-user
will not accepted
DISPLAY=:0 gksudo gedit
only password of 2nd-user will be accepted but it will not open
Can not open display
++++++
What should happen?
the new administrator (2nd-user) should use his password for sudo and for gksu.
Also I should use the gksudo command
