Probably was it; the way of checking for the password prompt has changed a lot since this version; please reopen if you still get the problem.

If have now see that this problem exist with all locale where have a translation for "Password: ".

Hi.

I'm using Frugalware Linux with this packages:

shadow 4.0.9
gksu 1.2.6
libgksu 1.3.1

If I start gksu -u <my user> <my command> then nothing is done. But only with a german locale

With shadow 4.0.7 gksu has worked correct.

Here the output of gksu -d, shadow 4.0.7 and german locale:

try_su_run: buf: -Password:
&#135;&#151;&#151;·°W
} &#151;·&#135;&#151;&#151;·-

gksu -d, shadow 4.0.7 and locale C:

try_su_run: buf: -Password&#135;'&#152;·?,
}0&#152;·&#135;'&#152;·-

Now gksu -d, shadow 4.0.9, german locale:

try_su_run: buf: -Kennwort:
&#135;÷&#156;·°W
}-

And with C:

try_su_run: buf: -Password&#135;G&#154;·?,
}P&#154;·&#135;G&#154;·-

I doesn't know what the strange chars means, they are strange in terminal, too. ;)

I'm thinking that the problem is the translation of password in the new version of shadow with a german locale.
