LIGHT: gksu does not remember passwords

[nightflier]

Checking the box for "remember password" has no effect.

I do not have a solution to this yet, but here are some things to point out related to this bug

• kdesu is not included, gksu is. But still... gksu is not remembering the password when asked to.
• We may have a conflict between gnome-keyring and gnome-keyring3. They both provide some of the same files.

corrected typo "kdesu", it is "gksu".

[Moises Henriquez]

This works just fine in STD... we're probably missing some package in LIGHT that is present in STD

[Moises Henriquez]

Update: I just did a fresh install of LIGHT B1 32-bit and I cannot reproduce this.

Did an advanced install...formatted the / partition. (only one used for installation)

[nightflier]

That would be the first report of this working in Light. VM? Could you create an ova copy?

[Moises Henriquez]

Yes. I can do that. Do you want it?

[nightflier]

Now testing gksu-polkit as a replacement for gksu.

[nightflier]

If it's not the one thing, it's another.. using gksu-polkit results in high CPU usage, which persists after closing the program with elevated privileges.

Worked around the issue. Configured Light for use of gksudo, which does not present the "save password" option.
