Thank you for reporting this issue and taking the time to thoroughly examine the issue. On my fresh Xubuntu 10.04 installation, I show /usr/bin/gksudo as a symbolic link to /usr/bin/gksu. Further, I show the file /etc/alternatives/libgksu-gconf-defaults containing a single line: /aps/gksu/sudo-mode true The way this appears to me is that gksudo and gksu are exactly the same command, and, include '--sudo-mode true' if no other system changes have been made.
Do you show the same symbolic link in /usr/bin ? ** Changed in: language-selector (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- xubuntu - password always fails when trying to install language support https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/588518 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
