[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1845892] Re: gedit crashes system when launched from terminal as root
Guilherme; Hey - The fact of the matter is that "sudo" is no longer the means to enable 'root's" use of GUI applications; as gksu is depreciated. Not a miss- configuration of the system either. Preferable is "admin://" - though there are 2 other alternates that I am aware of. If you do, as I, prefer "sudo" then try as sudo -H gedit etc/apt/sources to start a GUI App from terminal. Else there is also "pkexec". To do so you may have to install the admin package: sudo apt install nautilus-admin. then: pkexec gedit Please try these alternatives and advise on the result. Still - look at this as a miss use of privileges rather than a bug until proven otherwise. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1845892 Title: gedit crashes system when launched from terminal as root Status in gedit package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: This happens whenever I try to edit a file (for example /etc/apt/sources.list) or open gedit with root privileges.

Hello Guilherme You do not say how you are starting gedit.
