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.
