Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] Ubuntustudio-controls won't start
Thanks for your insights, Ralf :) I remembered that i had a look in the ubuntustudio-controls way back, on 11.10 maybe... and that there was some settings for firewire. The machine mentioned in OP where the controls wouldn't start, is a fresh install of 14.04. A test/office Machine with no firewire. Today i started my production machine, which has been upgraded from 13.04. (yeah... i know its not the best maybe...but it operates fine) This machine has a firewire card with a terratec phase88 rack running with ffado. It's operating perfectly. But there are no ubuntustudio-controls to be found on this machine? I'm confused about this. Could anyone explain to me what these controls are used for? Is this something deprecated that has found its way back? -- Set Hallström AKA reSet Sakrecoer http://sakrecoer.com -- ubuntu-studio-users mailing list ubuntu-studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users

Hi Set, at least kdesu can be configured to use sudo instead of su and IIUC what man gksu mentions, then by gconf the same can be done for gksu. $ cat .jwmrc-jwmpanel | less I commented lxpolkit out. On my machine everything needed to use gksudo is running anyway, but for usage of pkexec there seems to be the need to start an additional authentication agent.

I thought gksu was the same as gksudo... none of them seem to be installed. But yes, gparted starts and ask me for the root pass, in a way i would identify as gksudo does, minus the greyed-out background... but after checking it seems i have pkexec installed. so i'm guessing the ubuntustudio-controls haven't been adjusted to the change? -- Set Hallstrom AKA Sakrecoer http://sakrecoer.com -- ubuntu-studio-users mailing list ubuntu-studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users

;)
Nowadays it's more common to use "pkexec" instead of "gksu{do}". I
still prefer using "gksudo". Anyway, distros that by default come
without a root account should prefer "gksudo" over "gksu". Likely
somebody planed to switch to "pkexec" for the menu entry and has
forgotten to do it. Is gpared in the menu? If so, what happens if you
start gparted? Watching the menu entries with Alacarte or another menu
editor might be interesting. Is "gksu" used for all entries, that need
root privileges?

Ralf

[ubuntu-studio-users] Ubuntustudio-controls won't start
Hi, I tried to run the ubuntustudio-controls today on my 14.04 box, and got the following error message: > Failed to execute command "gksu ubuntustudio-controls". > Failed to execute child process "gksu" (No such file or directory) While I'm unsure what the ubuntustudio-controls are actually doing and aware how easy it is to install gksu, i wonder if it should be this way?
