### Please describe the problem.
|
|
|
|
git annex enable-tor fails with an error in the KDE su dialog window:
|
|
|
|
Cannot execute command ' ''\''/home/adam/software/scm/git-annex.static/git-annex'\'' '\''enable-tor'\'' '\''1000'\''''.
|
|
|
|
The console shows the following:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
enable-tor
|
|

|
org.kde.kdesud: priority set to 50

git-annex: Failed to run as root: /home/adam/software/scm/git-annex.static/git-annex enable-tor 1000
|
|
failed
|
|
git-annex: enable-tor: 1 failed
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Interestingly this happens on my openSUSE Tumbleweed system running XFCE4 (*not* KDE), but not on the peer I'm trying to pair with, which is an older openSUSE Leap 15.0 box. On the latter, for some reason that uses `gksu`, even though both systems are running XFCE4:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
enable-tor
|
|

|
gksu-run: gksu/'|home|adam|software|scm|git-annex.static|git-annex' 'enable-tor' '1000'/9140-0-pacific_TIME0

|
Tor hidden service is configured. Checking connection to it. This may take a few minutes.

|
Tor hidden service is working.
|
|
ok

```
|

|
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
|
|
|
|
Simply run `git-annex enable-tor`
|
|
|
|
### Workaround
|
|
|
|
I found that a valid workaround is to `su` to `root`, `cd` to the same repo, and run `git annex enable-tor 1000`.
|
|
|
|
### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
|
|
|
|
The identical statically compiled 7.20190912-g05bc37910 is running on both the failing Tumbleweed system and the succeeding Leap 15.0 system.
|
|
|
|
### Please provide any additional information below.
|
|
|
|
Here is the relevant fragment of the process tree:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
| |-zsh,9829
|
|
| | |-git,21554 annex enable-tor
|
|
| | | `-git-annex,21555 --library-path /home/adam/software/scm/git-annex.static//usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gconv:/home/adam/software/scm/git-annex.static//usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/audit>
|
|
| | | |-kdesu,21584 '/home/adam/software/scm/git-annex.static/git-annex' 'enable-tor' '1000'
|
|
| | | | |-{kdesu},21585
|
|
| | | | |-{kdesu},21586
|
|
| | | | |-{kdesu},21588
|
|
| | | | |-{kdesu},21589
|
|
| | | | |-{kdesu},21591
|
|
| | | | `-{kdesu},21595
|
|
| | | |-{git-annex},21579
|
|
| | | |-{git-annex},21580
|
|
| | | |-{git-annex},21581
|
|
| | | `-{git-annex},21583
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can clearly see that the arguments to `kdesu` have extra quotes, which I'm guessing is part of the problem:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ xxd /proc/21584/cmdline

|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
|
|
|
|
Yes, lots and lots for many years :-)
