Isn't that exactly the point? :) If nvidia-settings requires superuser access, then the menu shortcut for Ubuntu should probably be prefixed with "gksu"?
There doesn't seem to be much point in having a graphical frontend in the menu if users are required to jump into a terminal and prefix "sudo" themselves anyway (that is - after they run into the bug after launching nvidia-settings the normal way). -- 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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
