This fix from Joshua/SqRt7744 really works: In the /etc/sudoers file, there is this line: Defaults !lecture,tty_tickets,!fqdn
This should be changed to: Defaults !lecture,tty_tickets,!fqdn,env_keep+="DISPLAY HOME XAUTHORIZATION" This problem was reported over 8 months ago and I think it is a shame that it has not been released. Please can this be released/looked at? -- Doesn't launch and gives gtk "can't open display" https://launchpad.net/bugs/30291 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
