The "Could not launch menu item Failed to execute child process "su-to-root" (No such file or directory)"
problem is because you do not have the su-to-root application installed. apparently the su-to-root allows you to run an application as super user, similarly to sudo. If you add the -X option it is equivalent to gksudo. Just install the package "menu" using synaptic and this problem will be solved. I really do not know we this package is not already installed, or why gksudo is not used in the first place. I upgraded to Intrepid 32-bit from Hardy (32-bit), may be a clean install would not have the problem. Now that the su-to-root problem is behind us, the problem remains that the GUI crashes. It appears that the gadmin-proftpd version that is currently in the repositories has a bug (see also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gadmin-proftpd/+bug/276181). Just install the newer version from here http://debian.cs.binghamton.edu/debian/pool/main/g/gadmin-proftpd/ and the problem will be solved. I do not know if it matters, but I completely removed the gproftpd package (which apparently is outdated now), just to be on the safe side. The package you have to download is: gadmin-proftpd_0.3.5-2_i386.deb --> for 32-bit systems or gadmin-proftpd_0.3.5-2_amd64.deb --> for 64-bit systems Let me know if this worked for you. -- Gadmin-proftpd don't start testing Ubuntu intrepid 64-bit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/242067 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
