Comment 4 Angelo Naselli 2014-09-09 10:12:17 CEST 
Just out of curiosity, is mcc working like that?
mcc --expert does not seem to pass it to edit-rpm-sources.pl on mga4.

Sorry i forgot to paste the output in the file :)
I will update the file tomorrow morning and the info for #4

I think no, which command i have to run for edit sources in adminpanel-qt directly from the terminal ?
Comment 7 Angelo Naselli 2014-09-09 10:40:08 CEST 
as root just run dragora-urpm-sources.pl from console.
--expert works in that case
Comment 8 Dimitrios Glentadakis 2014-09-09 13:26:15 CEST 
But this opens the terminal interface.
Is it possible to open the qt interface in expert mode ?
Comment 9 Angelo Naselli 2014-09-09 14:50:08 CEST 
it should not, it should open a gui version if the relevant yui plugin is installed.

in any case there is a trick to force the gui you need
(considering you are in a console as root)

#running gtk interface
dragora-urpm-sources.pl --gtk
#running qt interface
dragora-urpm-sources.pl --qt
#running ncurses interface
dragora-urpm-sources.pl --ncurses

Those options are valid for any yui applications.
Comment 10 Dimitrios Glentadakis 2014-09-09 19:38:15 CEST 
Ok, this is the command that i was looking for:
dragora-urpm-sources.pl --expert --qt

it works only from root as you said, and launching from a terminal.

It doesn't work if i run it as user:
pkexec dragora-urpm-sources.pl --expert --qt


What i did initially it doesn't make sens ... i close this report

Comment 11 Angelo Naselli 2014-09-09 19:44:19 CEST 
I didn't add dragora* to polkit, since that work is not completed yet, maybe 
after some tests we could add them anyway.

Concerning the mpan.pl --expert as well as mcc --expert, that's true it does
not work, and maybe either make sense, but if all the modules use --expert to
add magic functionalities... well it could make sense, for the tool collector.

I will think about it at least for mpan.

Thanks for your tests
