Re: Security hole in LXDE?
Hi Hans,
Question 1 which one: stable, testing or unstable?
Generally (to aid in your investigation):
1.) It may be a good idea just to recheck your sudo settings first
(/etc/sudoers).
(relevant uncommented setting on this system:
##
## User privilege specification
##
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
2.) The other thing would be to check your regular user's group settings
(group memberships).
For example (on this system):
[davor@lucifer ~]$ groups davor
wheel plugdev users
Other than that, ensure you are not running as root (or sudo), ensure
you are updated, reboot and try again as regular user. LXDE is very
mature, this is unlikely to happen.
Cheers
D
