NoOp: $gksu id doesn't work doing anything I've tried, including ctrl-c followed by another gksu id. I've also tried opening another terminal window just for the hell of it. I haven't tried doing it outside the GUI altogether.
(What does work, just to reiterate, is $sudo synaptic and then using "mark all upgrades".) -- update-manager fails to bring up the password prompt for root privileges https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187982 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
