Public bug reported: In Xubuntu 18.04 "system-config-samba" is still started with "gksu":
$ cat /usr/share/applications/system-config-samba.desktop | grep Exec Exec=gksu system-config-samba But "gksu" has been removed from the repositories. Starting "system-config-samba" with "sudo" unfortunately also doesn't work: $ sudo system-config-samba Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/system-config-samba", line 45, in <module> mainWindow.MainWindow(debug_flag) File "/usr/share/system-config-samba/mainWindow.py", line 121, in __init__ self.basic_preferences_win = basicPreferencesWin.BasicPreferencesWin(self, self.xml, self.samba_data, self.samba_backend, self.main_window) File "/usr/share/system-config-samba/basicPreferencesWin.py", line 97, in __init__ self.admin = libuser.admin() SystemError: could not open configuration file `/etc/libuser.conf': No such file or directory Currently I have no way to start "system-config-samba" ** Affects: system-config-samba (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1770887 Title: system-config-samba started with gksu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-samba/+bug/1770887/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
