I tried it on a different computer running 8.04.1 Desktop (as opposed to 8.04.1 Server with X and Gnome installed). I was unable to reproduce the issue. The launcher did not open the application and I also saw that sudo was not even running after clicking the launcher. However, the machine did not lock up. Is this the expected behavior?
On the original computer having the problem, I get the issue every time assuming the sudo ticket is not already available. I am unable to switch to a VT after getting the bug. I must SSH to the machine and kill the rogue processes. Maybe it's a video card driver issue? The computer where I am able to reproduce the issue has a ATI Radeon 9600 XT and the one that is not having the issue is a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS. -- adding "sudo" before command in launcher in gnome panel freezes X session https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/253504 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
