You have been subscribed to a public bug:
typing sudo in the alt-f2 run applications dialog box and then the
program name or command freezes the system or just typing sudo and
hitting the enter key, both actions also shuts off any sound/music as
well if any are playing and where at least/most the keyboard & or mouse
(mouse can only move around can't select anything) only works to allow a
ctrl+alt+backspace if not and one has dontzap in the xorg conf then the
only way out is via the powerbutton on the computer. Gksudo seems to be
unaffected by this and does NOT cause a freeze up of the system. This
occurs if by defualt and left unchecked "run in terminal" is unchecked
and one just presses the enter key on the keyboard.
YES I did a full install of Gutsy and have all updates up to when this
bug/freeze was filed.
