Created attachment 1955812 [details] pop-up window Description of problem: When click on gparted I get a popup saying that root is required to run this. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gparted-1.5.0-1.fc37.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. In previous version gparted-1.4.0-2.fc37.x86_64 it worked as expected. Steps to Reproduce: 1. click on gparted or run gparted from a non-root command prompt. 2. 3. Actual results: A pop message saying root is required. Expected results: gparted is started like it used to do Additional info: The new gparted command does know about xpkexec, probably because the build environment did not have that command installed. --- usr/bin/gparted 2022-07-21 15:00:22.000000000 +0200 ## old version +++ /usr/bin/gparted 2023-03-25 12:32:53.000000000 +0100 ## new version @@ -50,7 +50,7 @@ # non-root to display the graphical error about needing root # privileges. # - if test "xpkexec --disable-internal-agent" = "x"; then + if test "x" = "x"; then echo "Root privileges are required for running gparted." $BASE_CMD exit 1 @@ -75,7 +75,7 @@ # # Run gparted as root. # - pkexec --disable-internal-agent '/usr/bin/gparted' "$@" + '/usr/bin/gparted' "$@" status=$? #
