While lewmur IMHO is a big aggressive in his opinion, I have to agree with him. This is a big usability issue for nvidia users (~25%). I completely agree with Savvas Radevic as well. While a gksudo fix might not be the most ideal way to solve this problem, it is the only thing we have right now - and IMHO we shouldn't trash it simply because it doesn't live 100% up to the standards.
It's been over a year since this bug was submitted, which means that nvidia users have been bugged by this for *at least* 3 releases. I honestly don't think it is fair to keep nvidia users trapped in this any more. At the very least, you could change this bug away from the bogus "Wishlist" status and grant it the status of the bug it is, with a priority according to the severity of this bug. -- 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
