Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gsmartcontrol
I am using Karmic Mythbuntu (XFCE) and have manually installed
gsmartcontrol. Clicking the menu item for gsmartcontrol does nothing.
If I type gsmartcontrol into the console, it starts and gives a graphical error
about permissions. If I run gsmartcontrol as sudo, it works as expected. I
understand that there is a gsmartcontrol-root that is meant to detect how to
run as root on the system, but gives:
$ gsmartcontrol-root
/usr/bin/gsmartcontrol-root: 5: su-to-root: not found
So I am wondering if the menu entry points to this.

menu entry doesn't work in XFCE (permission problems?)
