No problem, since synaptic already is installed and it also can't be launched by the menu. Btw. I can launch them from command line. [weremouse@moonstudio ~]$ ubuntustudio-controls-pkexec ==== AUTHENTICATING FOR com.ubuntustudio.pkexec.ubuntustudio-controls === Authentication is required to run Ubuntu Studio Controls Authenticating as: Ralf Mardorf,,, (weremouse) Password: ==== AUTHENTICATION COMPLETE === [snip] [weremouse@moonstudio ~]$ synaptic-pkexec ==== AUTHENTICATING FOR com.ubuntu.pkexec.synaptic === Authentication is required to run the Synaptic Package Manager Authenticating as: Ralf Mardorf,,, (weremouse) Password: ==== AUTHENTICATION COMPLETE === [snip] [weremouse@moonstudio ~]$ gparted-pkexec ==== AUTHENTICATING FOR com.ubuntu.pkexec.gparted === Authentication is required to run the GParted Partition Editor Authenticating as: Ralf Mardorf,,, (weremouse) Password: ==== AUTHENTICATION COMPLETE === [snip] So authentication works, just a window to give the password is missing when using a menu. However, better make such dependencies optional. Not everybody likes to use pkexec and/or gksudo, kdesu. I don't want to install policykit-desktop-privileges to "run common desktop actions without password" assumed this should be needed. Nobody should be able to run ubuntustudio-controls, synaptic, gparted without a password. If such a menu is started by a menu, the a window should open wer the user can enter the password. -- ubuntu-studio-devel mailing list ubuntu-studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
