Hi,

smb4k stopped working after the upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10.

Samba is fine, I can smbmount a share.

However, when I tried to mount a share with smb4k, it reported "sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified"

I unchecked "save logins in a wallet" in the Authentication configuration screen to see if I could get it to prompt me for a password, and I get:

Sorry, try again.
Sorry, try again.
Sorry, try again.
sudo: 3 incorrect password attempts.

I've tried various permutations of the authentication options, with no luck.

Looking at the sudo man page, there's a -A option to tell sudo how to prompt for a password in a GUI environment. How do I configure smb4k to use it? What password prompting helper program should I be using?

Thanks in advance for any ideas.
