A more general and stable solution is the following: 1. in oem-config-frontend, create an x-sudo entry using update-alternatives, ; 2. in oem-config-gtk and oem-config-kde, link gksudo or kdesudo (as the case may be) to x-sudo; and 3. change oem-config to point to x-sudo instead of trying to figure out which desktop is installed. Come to think of it, an even better and general solution would for gksu and kdesudo to maintain a link to x-sudo. I'll file a bug-report.

[Bug 224305] Re: oem-config thinks kde is gnome
Checking is harder than you might hope. I don't want to check just kubuntu-desktop or whatever; somebody might want to create another KDE- based derivative (what about kubuntu-kde4-desktop, if nothing else?), or somebody might want most but not all of the dependencies of kubuntu- desktop. The GTK libraries are installed on Kubuntu too so you have to be careful even with heuristics. I'll see if we can provide a better default here, but you may still have to preseed oem-config-udeb/frontend in some circumstances. ** Changed in: oem-config (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist Status: New => Triaged -- oem-config thinks kde is gnome https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/224305 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Found the fix, you need to pass oem-config-udeb/frontend=kde I don't see why oem-config can't check the correct desktop -- oem-config thinks kde is gnome https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/224305 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
