[Bug 244930] Re: gksu doesn't run terminal apps right
While this bug doesn't affect me anymore, I was asking for a quote from an authoritative source, not an opinion on what gksu should or should not do. To settle the difference of opinion, I've found the relevant text from the man page: gksu is a frontend to su and gksudo is a frontend to sudo. Their primary purpose is to run graphical commands that need root without the need to run an X terminal emulator and using su directly. So Phillip Susi was right, this is not a bug but a feature request. Do you know how I can submit feature requests to gksu? -- gksu doesn't run terminal apps right https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/244930 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

No. The purpose of gksu is to launch a gui app by forking it into the background and detaching it from the terminal. It has no means of knowing whether the program you run actually is a gui app or not. ** Changed in: gksu (Ubuntu) Status: New = Invalid -- gksu doesn't run terminal apps right https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/244930 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

It isn't supposed to; use sudo for terminal apps. ** Changed in: gksu (Ubuntu) Status: New = Invalid -- gksu doesn't run terminal apps right https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/244930 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

Hi Phillip, I'd like to challenge you on this one. How do you know it's not supposed to? If it's not supposed to, shouldn't it fail gracefully? ** Changed in: gksu (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid = New -- gksu doesn't run terminal apps right https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/244930 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
