[Touch-packages] [Bug 1821810] Re: gdebi crashes when trying to install packages
This bug still exists in Ubuntu 22.10. If you open it via the command line (even without sudo/root) it will work and prompt for the password. And if you open it via menu (my .desktop file has `gdebi-gtk %f` as the command) and THEN load the .deb, it will also work. I also tested it on different file managers: Elementary Files (does not work) Nautilus (does not work) Thunar (does not work) Caja (works) Nemo (works) PCMan (works) Rox (works) Thunar in root mode (works) So, seems to be something to do with the way it launches or the way the file is passed to it when it launches maybe? The fact that it doesn't work in Thunar normally but works when Thunar is launched in root mode is strange, don't know if that info helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gdebi in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1821810 Title: gdebi crashes when trying to install packages Status in gdebi package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When I try to install some deb packages gdebi disapears.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1821810] Re: gdebi crashes when trying to install packages
There's no indication of this bug's ever being fixed. The workaround is always launching Gdebi through Terminal. Run- sudo -i gedit /usr/share/applications/gdebi.desktop make it read:- [Desktop Entry] Name=GDebi Package Installer GenericName=Package Installer Comment=Install and view software packages Exec=sudo -i gdebi-gtk %f Icon=gnome-mime-application-x-deb Terminal=false Type=Application Categories=System; MimeType=application/vnd.debian.binary-package; NotShowIn=KDE; X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=gdebi StartupNotify=true Keywords=package;apt;dpkg;install SAVE the file. Now try right-clicking a .deb and selecting "Open with > GDebi Package Installer" Thanks to user Mark-pcnetspec on bug #1760910 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gdebi in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1821810 Title: gdebi crashes when trying to install packages Status in gdebi package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When I try to install some deb packages gdebi disapears.

I'm a Xubuntu flavour user and I've never seen Gdebi work (17.10-19.04). It just closes immediately after I press "Install" button. If I run Gdebi with root privilege through terminal (sudo -i gdebi) then it works. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gdebi in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1821810 Title: gdebi crashes when trying to install packages Status in gdebi package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When I try to install some deb packages gdebi disapears.
