Public bug reported: Hi, I'm having several problems with Karmic Alpha 64 bit, one of which is that I can't run any application that requires escalated priviledges. When I try to run synaptic, for instance, I get a dialog that says:
Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic as user root. Failed to exec new process. Exec format error. Running sudo <anything> from shell does nothing, just gives me another command prompt. ** Affects: gksu (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- gksu doesn't allow escalating priviledges, dialog box freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/425438 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
