Title:
Starting some superuser applications from unity fails
Status in Unity:
Incomplete
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I expect that when i click on the synaptic icon in menu and when try
to start gparted or synaptic from dash that the the program should
start.
I have run in to problems like this a couple of times.
It seams permanent ie ones i get it i have to reinstall ubuntu.
Perhaps the problem comes from some kind of unity dependency on home-folder
files
since i got it after connecting with my old home folder?
What happens is nothing when starting from dash.
from menu the icon blinks for a while.
no program is started.
I can start super userprograms from comand line.
Programs i know i can't start from unity but from terminal.
gparted
synaptic
Programs i know i can start from unity(and could perhaps be super-user
required)
