[Bug 59079] Re: gksu doesn't recognize the password
Oh, you're correct, gksudo works. In that case, my original title is quite misleading. It should probably be changed. Anyway, it seems like gksu has become the default password input. First thing, it is used in the System → Administration menu when launching Synaptic. That can easily be changed to gksudo by using Alacarte, but that's not the only place it is in use. When launching the update-manager without administrator privileges (which it does unless run from a terminal), and pressing the Install Updates button, gksu pops up asking for the password. -- gksu doesn't recognize the password https://launchpad.net/bugs/59079 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 59079] Re: gksu doesn't recognize the password
after looking at the man page i found that gksu is the front end for the su password (not set up unless you manully set it up) IMHO i dont recommend setting it up. gksudo is the front end for sudo. let me know if gksudo works with your user password. -- gksu doesn't recognize the password https://launchpad.net/bugs/59079 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
