[Labs-l] Question: GUI Editor on Tool Labs && "become" command

Thu May 2 09:48:34 UTC 2013

Hi Labsies!

I got the following question from someone who tried Tool Labs: He
prefers to work with a GUI editor (e.g. kwrite) via sftp.
(How to connect basically is described here:
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Access#Accessing_instances_with_a_graphical_file_manager.)

The problem is that he logs in with his user account but to work on
his project he has to execute "become <projectname>". If he doesn't,
he can work but, the file permissions are wrong, scripts are not
executed.
Is it possible to switch to the project's account in a graphical
environment and if so how???
Supposedly, there are/will be Tool Labs users working with GUI tools
on Linux as well as Windows (like Winscp).

What's the proposed workflow for them?

Best, Silke
