I am having the same problem as stated in the original bug report. I'm running the latest updated version of Intrepid Beta (amd64 version), but have had the same issue since installing Intrepid (at alpha 5).
Attempting to run any application that requires gksu or sudo from the menus generates a task named "Starting Administrative Application" which never brings up a password dialogue or loads. Copying the exact command used in the menu items into the terminal and running from there works without fail. -- Applications that require gksu privileges (Synaptic, Update Manager, etc) do not launch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/235637 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
