description |
When running Checkbox on Kubuntu, the application seems to stall forever when attempting to gather information from the system. The reason is that the backend is started during this process which calls upon kdesudo. The backend_info plugin assumes that kdesudo can take environment variables as part of the option:
kdesudo -- PATH=/foo command
However, it seems that kdesudo calls the argument with execv instead of the shell, so environment variables cannot be given this way. |
The impact of this bug is that checkbox stalls forever when attempting to gather system information on Kubuntu. This fix changes the way that kdesudo is called in order to successfully pass the PATH information in the environment.
