So my proposal is this: The attachment is supposed to be installed as /usr/bin/wireshark-root. It tries su-to-root, gksu and kdesudo in this order, (although I don't know if I got the options for kdesudo right), and when nothing's there it opens x-terminal-emulator with plain sudo.
wireshark-root.desktop should include the following lines: TryExec=wireshark-root Exec=wireshark-root And the wireshark package should recommend menu | gksu | kdesudo as alternatives. ** Attachment added: "/usr/bin/wireshark-root" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15335542/wireshark-root -- no run as root in menu in hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209084 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
