"If I recall correctly from a previous discussion about this sort of thing, the problem is that when you su to root a lot of your environment which is required for the correct running of Gnome GUI apps is not set up appropriately. The consensus from the developers seemed to be that running GUIs as root was generally a bad idea and should not be encouraged."
Translation: We hate you all, you will learn vi, suck on it. Not having a working editor is generally considered to be a problem in an operating system. The problem has only been there for like 5 years. Like Donald Trump, Linux succeeds only by setting expectations so low they are easy to exceed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575484 Title: "Set document metadata failed" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1575484/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
