Sudo Password should not be entered

Opened this issue 4 months ago · 3 comments

The Sudo password should not be entered by the user. Instead, find a way to do the operations while in a sudo environment.

maybe something with pksu (polkit)... if you need tomb to call another suid tool let me know, we can add an option.

Polkit sounds like a great idea, thanks. I'll look into it and see if I can add it to Mausoleum

I tested pkexec and it's a bit of a hassle. In order to avoid seeing a popup every time a command is run, the user needs a root level policy kit change.

I don't find this acceptable for this application so for the meantime I've released a new version that allows the user to disable the Sudo Password line in the GUI via the Config Page. When unchecked, the user will need to enter their sudo password in the terminal.
