This definetly appears to be a bug in the way sudo/gksudo handles things...
No matter which window manager you use, using sudo ubiquity will always work fine, and using gksudo ubiquity, even from a command line, will fail. On compiz, the window is drawn, but hidden (you find out if you try to kill it - it pops up, saying "are you sure you want to quit the installer?), and in metacity, the entire installer just freezes. -- manual partitioning hangs indefinitely https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/122645 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
