it looks like you don't have a x11-sshaskpass program installed. (In reply to comment #1) > it looks like you don't have a x11-sshaskpass program installed. > Yes that's what i though. But neither emerging net-misc/ssh-askpass-fullscreen nor net-misc/x11-ssh-askpass helps, and net-misc/gtk2-ssh-askpass somehow got removed from portage. There doesn't seem to be any good information available about how to get such askpass app to work, or about why net-misc/gtk2-ssh-askpass is not available in Portage. You need to make sure a few variables, notably DISPLAY and SSH_AKSPASS (or whatever it is again), stay set in your gksu environment. Please note that other distros might also configure gksu to in fact call sudo which you can configure /etc/sudoers (via visudo). |
