If you run with gksudo you're running a full GUI app as root for no reason _and_ causing a bug because the .nvidia-settings-rc file will be saved for the root user instead of for the user running the app so setting changes they make that _don't_ write to xorg.conf will not be saved in the correct location.
I would say just making a full GUI app run as root is enough of a bug to not implement this 'fix'. We're trying to reduce the number of apps that do such a thing, not increase them. -- nvidia-settings doesn't have permissions to write xorg.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200868 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
