Public bug reported: The package gksu has been removed from 18.04 and sudo should not be used to start a graphical application, because of problems caused by environment variables (e.g. $HOME, $XAUTHORITY) not set in the right way.
Please add a PolicyKit action to the package, so that you can edit for example the /etc/fstab configuration file by typing: pkexec leafpad /etc/fstab I suggest to add the file /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/com.ubuntu.pkexec.leafpad.policy with the content like: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE policyconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD PolicyKit Policy Configuration 1.0//EN" "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/PolicyKit/1/policyconfig.dtd";> <policyconfig> <action id="com.ubuntu.pkexec.leafpad"> <message>Authentication is required to run the Leafpad Editor</message> <icon_name>leafpad</icon_name> <defaults> <allow_any>auth_admin</allow_any> <allow_inactive>auth_admin</allow_inactive> <allow_active>auth_admin</allow_active> </defaults> <annotate key="org.freedesktop.policykit.exec.path">/usr/bin/leafpad</annotate> <annotate key="org.freedesktop.policykit.exec.allow_gui">true</annotate> </action> </policyconfig> ** Affects: leafpad (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags added: lubuntu -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1775980 Title: Add PolicyKit action to leafpad package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/leafpad/+bug/1775980/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
