User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:5.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0

When one clicks on YaST (gnome-shell overview -> applications), an ugly text-mode like dialog box pops up asking for the root password, unlike previous versions of openSUSE where a much better and consistent looking gnomesu dialog was shown.

Reproducible: Always

gnomesu

I get the "right one" (see attachment).

Is this from the livecd, or a full factory install?

Comment 2 Atri Bhattacharya 2011-08-08 20:29:36 UTC

This is from the 12.1 M3 liveCD. I see that libgnomesu is not even installed.

Comment 3 Forgotten User h13THG8RK1 2011-08-08 23:13:52 UTC

Possibly related bugs:
1. bug 701721 is also about libgnomesu missing.
2. bug 540627 is why we are now using xgd-su, instead of "X-KDE-SubstituteUID" (possibly, we also need to add a rpm requires somewhere?)

Comment 4 Vincent Untz 2011-09-02 08:42:27 UTC

This is really just bug 701721.
