I've just tried to reproduce the bug on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. It seems that the configuration file part where the console gave you root access has been to changed to 'xterm'. This was 'x-terminal- emulator' before.
I also found this on Debian Bugs: (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=536542) Based on this information, I think this bug should be closed as it appears to be no longer reproducible. Thanks. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #536542 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=536542 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/829268 Title: slim gives root access To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/slim/+bug/829268/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
