Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gedit
I wanted to add: 'deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com intrepid main restricted universe multiverse' to '/etc/apt/sources.list'. At first '/home/$USER# gedit /etc/apt/sources.list' and '~$ sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list' would not work. I could type the command in the terminal, but nothing happened: r...@thomas-laptop:/home/thomas# gedit /etc/apt/sources.listr...@thomas- laptop:/home/thomas# and: tho...@thomas-laptop:~$ sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [sudo] password for thomas: tho...@thomas-laptop:~$ After that I did: '~$ apt-get source gedit' and: '/home/$USER/# apt-get install gedit ; apt-get build-dep gedit ; dpkg- reconfigure gedit' Then I updated everything: r...@thomas-laptop:/home/thomas# dpkg --configure -a ; apt-get -fmy --force-yes --fix-missing install ; apt-get -fmy --force-yes --fix- missing update ; apt-get -fmy --force-yes --fix-missing upgrade ; apt- get -fmy --force-yes --fix-missing dist-upgrade ; dpkg --configure -a ; apt-get -fmy --force-yes --fix-missing install ; apt-get -fmy --force- yes --fix-missing update ; apt-get -fmy --force-yes --fix-missing upgrade ; apt-get -fmy --force-yes --fix-missing dist-upgrade Now it just hangs instead of doing nothing: r...@thomas-laptop:/home/thomas# gedit /etc/apt/sources.list ^Z [2]+ Stopped gedit /etc/apt/sources.list r...@thomas-laptop:/home/thomas# gedit /etc/apt/sources.list ^Z [3]+ Stopped gedit /etc/apt/sources.list r...@thomas-laptop:/home/thomas# tho...@thomas-laptop:~$ sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list ^Z [1]+ Stopped sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list tho...@thomas-laptop:~$ gedit /etc/apt/sources.list tho...@thomas-laptop:~$ sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list ^Z [2]+ Stopped sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list tho...@thomas-laptop:~$ ** Affects: gedit (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- gedit fails to run as root in jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311237 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gedit in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
