[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 200868] Re: nvidia-settings doesn't have permissions to write xorg.conf
lewmur, .nvidia-settings-rc is not an executable, it's a configuration file that nvidia-settings uses to save user preferences for the server configuration. Wearing my Ubuntu user hat, I would personally prefer not having it save things like my brightness and contrast settings in root's home directory by default. If the gksudo change is applied and then the bug is later fixed some other way, users will be confused when the settings they had previously saved into ~root/.nvidia-settings-rc are no longer applied because the program is now reading ~/.nvidia- settings-rc instead. Wearing my upstream maintainer hat, I don't really have a say in what Ubuntu does here. If there's a way of changing xorg.conf from a non- root program in a reasonably standard and reasonably distro-agnostic way, I'll be sure to include it upstream. -- nvidia-settings doesn't have permissions to write xorg.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200868 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-settings in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 200868] Re: nvidia-settings doesn't have permissions to write xorg.conf
I disagree that this is not a good papercut - if all that is required is to append gksudo to the front of the launcher for the nvidia-settings - then this should be done. And, yes I have read the above comments (8 etc) about superuser access - however, I fully agree with what Christian Funder Sommerlund wrote on 2008-10-10 - it would be better not to have it present than present and broken. Or at least have it throw a warning when it needs to write to xorg.conf and fails. This is specifically a problem for dual screens, which as they become more prevalent this will become a bigger issue.

It is totally asinine to let this situation continue for two years when there is a perfectly simple solution. There is no legitimate reason at all for not using gksudo.

If you run with gksudo you're running a full GUI app as root for no reason _and_ causing a bug because the .nvidia-settings-rc file will be saved for the root user instead of for the user running the app so setting changes they make that _don't_ write to xorg.conf will not be saved in the correct location.

And I say there is a very good reason for doing so. It is the only way to get dual monitors to work for the average user. The only other way is to change the ownership of xorg.conf which belongs to root to begin with. There is NOT a good reason for not allowing nvidia-settings to run with root privileges You claim the saving .nvidia-settings-rc with root ownership is a bug. I say BS. Just what problem does that cause other than raise the blood pressure of paranoids? I've had dual monitors running this way for close to two years and have had no problems at all.

Again, if you have a BETTER solution, then implement it. Don't just talk about it. Otherwise I'll keep advising people to do what works I'd have to agree with this comment, Ubuntu is (or should be) all about the human needs, not the proper thing to do (which seems to take enough time to be implemented). Hacks are not fixes. Also, is this program even installed by default? Paper cuts are only for things installed by default. I don't know about that, but the papercut specifications include these: https://launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts a) - bugs that impact standard workflows (like connecting to the network, copying files, browsing folders, etc.), rather than specialised or corner case workflows It is a standard workflow, people install the nvidia driver all the time. Even though nvidia-settings is in universe, nvidia-settings _is suggested_ by System Preferences Display: It appears that your graphics driver does not support the necessary extensions to use this tool. Do you want to use your graphics driver vendor's tool instead? (which opens up nvidia-settings) b) - bugs that are easy to address, rather that ones that require significant design or development efforts I don't know and probably will not be the judge of this one, but if the PolicyKit seems hard, there is the alternative issue of applying a mere workaround for the time being, using gksu in the menu item. c) - bugs that relate to usability and design (like size of the notification bubbles), rather than broken software (e.g. notifications flickering in fullscreen) It is highly related to usability. I would say just making a full GUI app run as root is enough of a bug to not implement this 'fix'. That's a bug *everyone* could live with, until the proper fix comes out. You are certainly welcome to advise them of your workaround for this bug. I just don't believe such a thing should be added to the package. I have posted this as a papercut because it just is and there is an easy solution (at least one of the available ones). If we implement the gksu usage as an easy temporary solution, people will have less to think about while fixing up their resolution issues. This way, the developer would not be rushed into making a fix and would make a properly defined fix with the PolicyKit patch. Right now, I see an easy workaround, which you don't want to implement just because it's not proper, and a hard one, which will probably take time to be implemented. It is a papercut issue to me and probably (IMHO) some other people trying to help out their fellow humans how to install their driver properly. -- nvidia-settings doesn't have permissions to write xorg.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200868 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-settings in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

This is actually not a good paper cut because it requires writing more than a few lines of code.
