> If we are replacing gksu with menu, then menu should probably be a recommended package instead of a dependency.
I think, I don't like that very much. I, for example, regularly disable automatic installation of recommended packages, and I'm sure I'm not alone. This is in this case no problem, because gksu is installed by default, but menu is not, and without a working "as root" menu entry, wireshark is near useless. Although I understand, that that's maybe not the same on Kubuntu or other *buntu systems, so that there should better be a cross platform solution. If you don't want to make menu a dependency, maybe there would be a way to recommend gksu | menu, (and maybe kdesudo, too) and use either one or the other? Perhaps a simple shell script wireshark_as_root which checks for the existence of various "become root" programs and execs one of it would do it. -- no run as root in menu in hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209084 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
