Re: how to run kdesu without asking password?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



if i 

visudo
MYUSER ALL=(transmission-user) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/transmission-gtk

and 

xhost local:transmission-user
sudo -u transmission-user -- /usr/bin/transmission-gtk

then it works perfectly. but my original problem is that it needs a "gnome-terminal" (i need the "kdesu" or whatever in a .desktop file):

echo -e '#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open\n\n[Desktop Entry]\nVersion=1.0\nType=Application\nTerminal=true\nIcon[en_US]=gdu-encrypted-lock\nName[en_US]=transmission-user\nExec=sudo -u transmission-user -- /usr/bin/transmission-gtk\nName=transmission-user\nIcon=gdu-encrypted-lock' > transmission-user.desktop
chmod +x transmission-user.desktop

this is important:
Terminal=true

if i set this to false, it doesn't work. if i set this to true, sudo perfectly works, but theres a gnome-terminal opened.

theres no gksu under Fedora 14.

but thank you!

It lloks like it's a kubuntu app (!); sorry.

In GNOME, you can set gksu/gksudo to use either su or sudo as a
backend either at the cli with "--su-mode" or "--sudo-mode" or
permanently in the gconf settings.

I don't use KDE so I don't know whether it's possible (it *must* be)
and, if it is, how. :(
