permission GUI window not visible, and will not close #168

Closed

Description

Windows Build Number

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.21370.1]

WSL Version

  • WSL 2
  • WSL 1

Kernel Version

5.10.16

Distro Version

OpenSUSE LEAP 15.3 beta

Other Software

yast2

Repro Steps

I want to run the graphics version of Yast2, which I installed. If I launch a LEAP 15.3 command window and do
su -
yast2 comes up in the awful text mode.
But if I launch yast2 from the app link (Yast Software (openSUSE)), it needs to be root, so launches a permission window. It is in the tray, but does not appear on my desktop to type in the password. Even worse, it cannot be dismissed, and I cannot find a way to get its process number to kill it. The close window command on the task bar does nothing.

Expected Behavior

Password window should appear and also be dismissable

Actual Behavior

It sits in the task bar

Diagnostic Logs

    Likely a known window z-order issue tracked by #10, keeping around until we can confirm.

    jimrome could you give this a try with 1.0.22 that was released earlier today. It addresses z-ordering issue where sometime child window would popup behind their parent, leading to issue as you describe here. To update to 1.0.22, run the following from an elevated command prompt:

    wsl --shutdown
    wsl --update

    jimrome , let me close this issue as window z-order problem is now fixed. Regarding to missing start menu item, can you check if that application creates .desktop file under /usr/share/applications ? If yes, but shortcut is not created, please file separate issue, thanks!
