gksudo and gksu both swallow error messages from the command invoked with them for me. At least in the following example:
me@UbT:~$ sudo chown badname ./test chown: invalid user: ‘badname’ me@UbT:~$ gksudo chown badname ./test me@UbT:~$ gksu chown badname ./test me@UbT:~$ I'm actually running Ubuntu 14.04, installed from the mini iso with Openbox as the DE, but I thought this note would be more likely to do more good here, since it is most likely an upstream thing. -- I'm on the waiting list for an email account at protonmail.com where I'll be [email protected] or maybe [email protected] until the DIME project gets off the ground. Because the Bill of Rights needs to be more than "a literary fiction". -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
