Throws a cannot start configuration error in a dialog box with only an OK button. Work around is to start a process that requires admin authentication then restart. This seems to fix it for the rest of the time that the user is logged in. If admin authorisation has already been requested for a different process the error is not seen. On my set-up the admin authorisation is rescinded when the requesting process terminates. ** Affects: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- users-admin fails to start from netbook-launcher https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bugs/425453 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-system-tools in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
