[Bug 796076] Re: When run as root [gksudo gedit whatever] gedit tries to open a 2nd 'untitled document 1'
I have a workaround for those LTS users like me who haven't got the fixed gedit. As stated if gksudo gksudo gedit is run, it doesn't create the empty document. Therefore, adding this: gksudo() { if [ $1 = gedit ] then shift gksudo gksudo gedit $@ else command gksudo $@ fi } to your .bashrc will fix it. For those who don't know bash, it's a function that will be called when the user types gksudo. If the second argument is gedit, then it shifts the argument array, to drop off the first, and then passes the argument array to gksudo gksudo gedit. (This makes sure that if the users specifies a file to open it will get opened). Otherwise it just runs gksudo for us. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/796076 Title: When run as root [gksudo gedit whatever] gedit tries to open a 2nd 'untitled document 1' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gedit/+bug/796076/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

@samuel - Thanks for the function. Unfortunately, that only works from the terminal; it doesn't work from Alt+F2.

[Bug 796076] Re: When run as root [gksudo gedit whatever] gedit tries to open a 2nd 'untitled document 1'
Temporary SOLUTION: I've found another workaround. Unfortunately for us this doesn't seems to be a bug, at least I guess there's no intention from gnome developers to solve it soon: A upstream developer said: You shouldn't start GNOME programmes with elevated privileges, it's not supported. In any case, not a gnome- terminal bug. It's not just nautilus it's any gnome application with a GUI. This can be confirmed according to the upstream of the Nautilus bug, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/805682, at Gnome bugzilla (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=654184). It's clear that Gnome developers don't design their programs to be runned as root. So, since they don't want to support gnome graphical programs as root, it's not a bug. If you can read more about why they don't support this you can read: - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2014450 - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1019995 But it IS a problem if we want to start gnome graphical programs as root. So we need alternative solutions: - Paddy Landau have created a workaround for it (comment #20) and posted it at http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=12071894postcount=81. - You can use alternative applications (like graphical leafpad or vim and nando in the terminal). - Running sudo gedit (NOT recommended, graphical programs should be runned with gksudo or kdesudo) - The simplest solution I got. (See down). As Derek White posted in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/890041. $ gedit # opens untitled document $ gedit /path/to/file # opens file $ sudo gedit /path/to/file # opens file $ gksu gedit /path/to/file # opens file untitled document $ gksudo gedit /path/to/file # opens file untitled document I figured out that it only happens when you try to gksudo with other user. For example: $ gksudo -u userA /path/to/file # Will opens file normally if logged as userA. $ gksudo /path/to/file # Will also opens normally if you're logged as root (with sudo -i or something). But if you are root and try to gksudo with other user it will brings the untitled document again: $ gksudo -u UserA /path/to/file # Will opens file untitled document. So, as long as we are supossed to run graphical applications with gksudo, the solution is to be logged as root and run gedit with gksudo (whitout parameters it'll run as root). If you want to do this in one single line you can do: $ sudo gksudo gedit /path/to/file # Works perfectly. $ gksudo gksudo gedit /path/to/file # Works perfectly. I recomend this, specially if you want to call gedit in a script or something. That's it! I wish this can help to devs to deciding fix this problem an support graphical as root. Or someone else to add the feature to Gnome applications. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #654184 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=654184 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/796076 Title: When run as root [gksudo gedit whatever] gedit tries to open a 2nd 'untitled document 1' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gedit/+bug/796076/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 796076] Re: When run as root [gksudo gedit whatever] gedit tries to open a 2nd 'untitled document 1'
its pretty queer: when doing a sudo su, and then as root gedit anyfile , no second untitled document 1 is opened. but when using gksu/gksudu it is; in the latter case ps shows that the command line that started gedit was exactly this gedit anyfile. this additional untitled document 1 always has the changed mark (leading asterisk) but: nothing has happened to it, undo is inactive, and it has no contents: when saved it has zero bytes. tried to find out what gksu really did by strace -f gksu gedit /etc/fstab and found it does: execve(/usr/bin/sudo, [/usr/bin/sudo, -H, -S, -p, GNOME_SUDO_PASS, -u, root, --, gedit, /etc/fstab], [/* 38 vars */]) = 0 more readable: /usr/bin/sudo -H -S -p GNOME_SUDO_PASS -u root -- gedit /etc/fstab which means: set home to /root, read password from stdin, and prompt with GNOME_SUDO_PASS (triggers gksu to output the pass phrase) when I issue this very command in a xterm and enter my password after the prompt gedit opens without this dummy untitled document, but with exactly the same execve call it does? I have no clue ... so summarizing: - not caused by wrong setting in root's account - not caused by wrong command from gksu - caused by a different handling of the execve system call in contrast to the shell? this is on a newly set up maya mint system, but running gnome-classic from precise repositories btw: regarding the #23 desktop file: grep Exec /usr/share/applications/gedit.desktop - Exec=gedit %U Exec=gedit --new-window Exec=gedit --new-window -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/796076 Title: When run as root [gksudo gedit whatever] gedit tries to open a 2nd 'untitled document 1' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gedit/+bug/796076/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 796076] Re: When run as root [gksudo gedit whatever] gedit tries to open a 2nd 'untitled document 1'
Anyone examined the .desktop file? If I drag it into the launcher bar, using the open new document/window functions work very oddly, opening more than one ghost document. If I try to add double quotes the %U, it tries to open $HOME/Documents (which is a folder, won't work). I can also reproduce the original bug. It's weird because when done manually, gedit seems to behave nicely if invoked from the command line, but seems to fail when the .desktop file is used. So maybe it has something to do with it. For example, if I run gedit and use the launcher shortcut to open a new document, it doesn't work (opens another window with ghost documents), but if I try from command line (gedit --new-document) , it'll open a new document as expected. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/796076 Title: When run as root [gksudo gedit whatever] gedit tries to open a 2nd 'untitled document 1' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gedit/+bug/796076/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Just to add an interesting twist... I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric) and this same bug is happening for me when using gEdit from Konqueror (as a file manager) when clicking on text files. i sometimes run Konqueror with kdesudo first, so that i can access files that only have 'root' permission, but this bug occurs even when i am running Konqueror normally, to access files from my usual Ubuntu username. so it wouldn't be launching them as 'root' would it? and yet... that same behaviour, ie: the unnecessary 'untitled document' also being opened. this might be a separate bug, but this is the only reference i have found so far to these symptoms. if this should be posted somewhere else (like a Konqueror issue queue) just let me know. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/796076 Title: When run as root [gksudo gedit whatever] gedit tries to open a 2nd 'untitled document 1' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gedit/+bug/796076/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I have the same problem here on Ubuntu 11.10, quite annoying. Does anybody know where can I find the root's config file for gedit?
