It is generally always a bad idea to have things run as superuser that don't absolutely need to. Since Alberto is the maintainer for the NVIDIA stuff, I trust his word when he says it doesn't have to. He's also working on this, so what's the fuss about?
BTW, had you read the bug I linked, you would have seen that it is also concerned with writing xorg.conf from nvidia-settings. For some reason it works for me from the Administration menu without sudo. I don't know why, but I can save to my xorg.conf. -- 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
