Description of problem:
Using the GTK icon Applications/Accessories/Redshift, will not start the program unless sudo is placed in front of the command. Ie: sudo gtk-redshift
This is the same when starting from the command line (needs sudo redshift).
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
redshift 1.5-1.fc14
How reproducible:
Install redshift, and try to use it under regular user-account.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to run redshift from GTK icon in Accessories , or at command line.
2. GTK icon just disappears, opening redshift in terminal reports error (see below).
3.
Actual results:
redshift does not start without elevated privileges.
Expected results:
redshift would start without elevated privileges, put its icon in the tray, and redden screen according to time of day/night in locale.
Additional info:
copy/paste of terminal error:
No clock applet was found.
Initialization of gnome-clock failed.
Trying next provider...
Latitude and longitude must be set.
This does not occur when using redshift with elevated privileges.
After going through information in Bug 604331; there does not seem to have been any discussion of using pam or polkit for redshift to get access to the information required from the clock applet; just a thought..
Happy Holidays to All!
