I have the same problem in Ubuntu 11.04 (x86). Launching the application from the dash accomplishes nothing.
I went to /usr/share/applications/lshw-gtk.desktop and looked at what command the launcher executes: su-to-root -X -c lshw-gtk Now, I have never seen "su-to-root" (I am a newbie) so I changed it to "gksudo lshw-gtk", which is what I wanted it to do, and now it works. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/785693 Title: lshw-gtk menu entry is inoperative -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
