I used Gobo-014 with KDE and Konsole before, and I recall that when we were compiling recipes in the terminal as a user, the sistem would ask for root pass, and once inserted it would not ask for it until it finished the issued command line. In Gobo-015 with Enlightenment and Terminology, when I am compiling as a user, it also asks for root pass, but then it asks for the root pass some time over again, before finishing the issued command. This causes a problem, since most times i go and do something else, not just staring at the lines fly-by, and when I get back to Terminology, I see that it required root pass several times. Even if I insert the pass, the compile fails with something like 'no permission access to chroot', and I have to start over again, so that's annoying :p For example, to 'Compile EFL 1.15.1', I have to insert root pass at the beginning, and again at almost the finish. If inserted fast enough at the first time it asks, it goes well, but that requires me to sit here and babysit it. I shrinked the Terminology window to be 5 to 10 lines tall, and half screen width, then went to the top border and right-click to select 'always on top'. That sexy option worked ;) I could browse Firefox and still keep an eye on the fly-by terminal text, to insert the pass as soon as it was required. I know I can just type 'Su' and be done with it, as it will not ask anything more for all commands, but besides security reasons, it creates all files as root-owned, and that causes some other small issues. How can I make the terminal not ask for the pass again, at least until it finishes the issued command, like it did in Gobo-014? -- Cumprimentos, D.er Hugo Barrocas
