Title:
gksu does not work properly
Status in “gksu” package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gksu
First, I try starting Synaptic, and nothing happens. I try with the
command "sudo synaptic" and everything is working! I figured it must
be gksu, so I type in a terminal "gksu". That works, so I try going to
Add/Remove Programs, selecting the ones I need, then Hitting Install
Updates. The gksu dialog doesn't come up, and my Add/Remove Programs
freezes. So then I try the GDebi Package Installer. I take Wine
1.0-rc3 and try to install it, but at the part where it's supposed to
give me the gksu dialog, the dialog never comes up, and i'm left with
a broken gksu. I've had to run so many sudos from the command line and
I would like gksu fixed...
For information on what versions I used: I used Ubuntu Hardy, gksu
2.0.0-5ubuntu3. Maybe I should downgrade to gksu 2.0.0-5ubuntu2...
--PS-- I tried installing the update: no luck. Back to blueprints. You
might have to go back to gnome-sudo.
