Re: uiop:launch-program fails to run sudo without -S

Thanks for the details, this makes sense! :)

The problem with -S is that I need to pass it systematically. Worse: I cannot invoke shell scripts that call `sudo' without -S.

So instead I ended up adding this to my ~/.slynk.lisp:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (let ((askpass (format nil "~a/.guix-extra-profiles/common-lisp/common-lisp/bin/lxqt-openssh-askpass" (uiop:getenv "HOME")) )) (when (uiop:file-exists-p askpass) (setf (uiop:getenv "SUDO_ASKPASS") askpass))) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Works perfectly for me now! :)

Thanks!
