Yumex runs yum as a backend...so the yumex.conf file must have use_sudo=1 in it. Its located on my 19 system as $HOME/.config/yumex On my system sudo is configured to give root access without a password. YMMV. Regards FrankI put the use_sudo=1 in the first line of ~/.config/yumex and then I ran yumex as user and got this Error message; [jim@localhost Desktop]$ yumex 16:05:16 : INFO - Using config file : /home/jim/.config/yumex/yumex.conf Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yumex", line 42, in <module> app = YumexApplication(backend) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yumexgui/__init__.py", line 199, in __init__ self.cfg = YumexOptions() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yumexbase/conf.py", line 73, in __init__ self.conf_settings = self.get_yumex_config() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yumexbase/conf.py", line 93, in get_yumex_config parser.read(CONF_FILE) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/iniparse/compat.py", line 99, in read self.data._readfp(fp) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/iniparse/ini.py", line 565, in _readfp raise MissingSectionHeaderError(fname, linecount, line)

But I found out that if I run Yumex as SU by using this command, "yumex --root" it will force it to run.
how about a clarification; from jim's post, file is "~/.config/yumex/yumex.conf". you post "use_sudo=1 in the first line of ~/.config/yumex" did you mean "use_sudo=1 in the first line of ~/.config/yumex/yumex.conf" after headers? does root have "/root/.config/yumex/yumex.conf"? if so, how do lines compare to your "~/.config/yumex/yumex.conf"? see the "*NOTE*" lines i marked from your post. iow, "1 st line" and "line: 1" can _technically_ have different meanings when it comes to configuration files. -- peace out. in a world with out fences, who needs gates. sl6.3 linux tc.hago. g . -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
