Problem with su-to-root and kernel 2.6.32
Hello,
if I upgrade my default kernet to backport's one, su-to-root behaves
strangely. A better description:
Imagine you call "synaptic" using su-to-root, as it happens when you
load it throughout the Gnome menu, then it works. But now, close it and
try to open it again, and it doesn't work. If you wait some minutes, it
works again.
I repeat, this doesn't happen with the standard Lenny kernel!
In the command line, try this:
$ su-to-root -X -c /usr/sbin/synaptic
It works. now close it and try again:
$ su-to-root -X -c /usr/sbin/synaptic
It hangs!
Now wait some minutes, and it works again!
I have to say that my default keyring hasn't got any password. I don't
know it this is significant.
My machine:
$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.32-bpo.5-amd64 (Debian 2.6.32-15~bpo50+1)
(norbert@tretkowski.de) (gcc version 4.3.2 (Debian 4.3.2-1.1) ) #1 SMP
