When hitting ALT-F2 to launch an application like gparted, mcc or any other application using kdesu or gksu, the authentication windows pops up. After entering the correct password, the application is never run. This is true for mcc and gparted even from the menu or the application launcher. Often recurring on Plasma and Cinnamon on Mageia 6 64-bit. This behaviour is random, but you can encourage it by: - Invoking the application several times. - Start the PC go after sleep or hibernation. The only possible solution I have found is to reboot Mageia.
No idea what might cause this, but I assume, since it happens with kdesu and gksu, that it's a low level package that causes it. Assigning to the Base System Maintainers. Please reassign and explain if i'm wrong.

This message is a reminder that Mageia 6 is end of life. Mageia stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 6. At that time this bug will be closed as OLD (EOL). Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version prior to Mageia 6's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we cannot be able to fix it before Mageia 6 was end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. -- Mageia Bugsquad
