Guilherme; Well As this no longer appears to be a bug, I am moving this to Launchpad Answers. I will meet you there and we will further explore your issue.

[Bug 1845892] Re: gedit crashes system when launched from terminal as root
Bashing-om, I tried sudo -H gedit and went to search your suggestion on pkexec which lead me to this post on how to use it: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/203136/how-do-i-run-gui-applications-as-root-by-using-pkexec#answer-203149 Both of these solutions opens gedit but with an extremely slow response to commands. Everything else I'm doing is lost due to stall, specially firefox, which I'm forced to kill. Also, as soon as I run them on terminal the fans on my laptop start an odd behaviour as if it's preventing overheating. Only stops when I close the app. window. "admin://" is what work worked for me till now and I'm sticking with it. If you have any idea why this is happening I would be happy to know.

[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 Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1845892 Title: gedit crashes system when launched from terminal as root To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1845892/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1845892] Re: gedit crashes system when launched from terminal as root
Hi there Bashing-om. Thanks for the quick response. I'm starting gedit from terminal. $gedit runs without any issue, however $sudo gedit ... yields all the said issues. As a layman in the subject, I don't know if this is really a bug or misconfiguration in my system. But the fact is that it wasn't happening since last week or so. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1845892 Title: gedit crashes system when launched from terminal as root To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1845892/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hello Guilherme You do not say how you are starting gedit. As policykit now applies what results: gedit admin:///etc/apt/sources ? ** Changed in: gedit (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1845892 Title: gedit crashes system when launched from terminal as root To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1845892/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
