I'm tending to close this as "won't fix" or "not a bug" (In reply to comment #0) > Fedora has a better framework now called PolicyKit. Is it really better? It's sound like PackageKit and PackageKit isn't a good thing! I see no advantage for a switch to policykit right now. Let's talk about this in a few months or in a few releases. Added 'FutureFeature' keyword to avoid rawhide base I will take care of this. Hmm, I thought it was trivial, just change the launchers to "pkexec simple-backup-config" and "pkexec simple-restore-gnome", but this doesn't work because pkexec does not keep the environment, so the display cannot be opened. mclasen told me this is intended, pkexec is not for GUI apps. See http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17970#c15 The switch to polkit will require major changes in the code. Reassigning to Simon, he will talk to upstream and then decide what to do. I had the same problem before... I thought it was my fault. The documentation couldn't help me. Imho the Documentation isn't good! This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. Sorry, I'm not using sbackup anymore! Best, Mario This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. retiring sbackup https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/5869 |
