[Gambas-user] No Graphical sudo program found

[Brian G]

I have included a graphic gambas3 script to read a password bellow

in your main code that launches the sudo do the following I am using 'apt update' as an example:


 exec ["sudo", "-A", "apt", "update"] with ["SUDO_ASKPASS=/home/brian/bin/getpassword"] wait 
 ...........................................................^^^^^ this should be full path to getpassword

Hope this helps!


Here is a gambas3 script to just get the password and print it to the stdout:

Copy this section to a file called getpassword in your ~/bin directory or anywhere it is accessible by your app:

Save between the  cut --------------------------------------- to the file getpassword
cut--------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env gbs3
#Script Title="Get Password"
#Script Startup="FMain"
#Script Version="0.0.1"
Use "gb.image","gb.gui","gb.form"
class FMain
' Gambas class file
  Public Sub Button1_Click()

    Print PasswordEntry.text
    FMain.Close()

  End
End class

form FMain
# Gambas Form File 3.0

{ Form Form
  MoveScaled(0,0,124,20)
  { Label1 Label
    MoveScaled(3,6,20,8)
    Text = ("Enter Password :")
  }
  { !PasswordEntry TextBox
    MoveScaled(26,5,74,11)
    #Public = True
    ToolTip = ("Enter your Password here")
    Password = True
  }
  { Button1 Button
    MoveScaled(103,5,17,11)
    Text = ("OK")
  }
}

End form

cut -------------------------------------------------------
