i can confirm it does not work out of the box i am using a rather fresh hardy install on a thinkpad r52, and installed thinkfinger using procedure for hardy from thinkwiki (ie using ubuntu provided packages)
same results as Adrian: it will work from command line eg sudo update-manager but not from the menu (or, for that matter, just launching update-manager without sudo from command line) repeating does not help. actually what happens is that sudo segfaults: excerpt from /var/log/messages when starting update-manager : Aug 2 14:28:15 think kernel: [ 1606.831798] input: Virtual ThinkFinger Keyboard as /devices/virtual/input/input18 Aug 2 14:28:55 think kernel: [ 3762.393400] sudo[17339]: segfault at b8429fb8 eip b7c87a47 esp b741b5d0 error 6 -- modifying PAM configuration could break gksu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/86843 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
