Hello,
When I launch an application,
Trinity proposes to keep the root password
during 120 min.
I anwswer yes with the radio button.
But the next time, Trinity did not keep the password in
memory and I have to retype it.
Thank you and have a good day.

As far as I am aware it is not a session thing. I'm not 100% sure, but if
you leave the application open it does not ask. Only if you close the app
and open again.
perhaps you could open a proper bug so that it may get developers attention
and can be answered properly.

The window proposes me to store the root password in memory,
and after, for all root applications, I don't have to retype this password
during 120 min, even if the application is closed.
I open another root application before the 120 min,
but I have to retype the password.
Thanks,
André

Hello André,
I have the same behaviour. However, after some trial, I come to the following
conclusion: the message sould be understood as: "for 120 minutes you won't
have to enter the root password again *for the application you have just
given root rights*, not *for all applications*.
When I tried, I got this behaviour:
open synaptic - asked give root password - ticked the option to keep it -
enter root password
open gparted- asked give root password
open root terminal- asked give root password
open synaptic- no password asked - closed synaptic
open- no password asked - closed synaptic
So I think it's not a bug, it's a missunderstanding of the message's meaning
(or maybe we could ask the message to say "kept for up to 120 minutes for
this app"
Regards,
Thierry

Thanks Thierry.
To be sure to understand,
I join the graphic message that I receive.
Sorry, it's in french (the 6 first lines) :
Translation :
Run as root TDE su
This action requires the rights of the super administrator,
fill the password...
Keep in memory the password ?
and after it's in english...
Maybe you are right but the message is not clear
and leads to confusion.
Happy day,
André

Andre, as Thierry said, please open a bug and ask for
changing the message,
so that it says
* Kept for up to 120 minutes for this application
Why open a bug, because Thierry said :
"So I think it's not a bug, it's a missunderstanding..."
And how or where open a bug ?
I'm lucky, what happens now... a miracle ?
the store root password works fine,
I open a root application, the password is asked one time,
and not the next time during two hours.
Good night,
André

if you want to get change into the code, the way is through a bug/ticket in
the bug tracking system. Even if you create a patch and want this patch to
be pushed to the code it goes via bug ticket. Bug as meant by Thierry means
a problem - defect. In the bug tracking system you can request
improvement - in your case the label of the password prompt.
