Oddly enough, after doing a reinstall of 16.04 xdiagnose does properly prompt me for a password and starts.
The password prompt reads "Authentication is needed to diagnose graphical issues". Gnome shell is 3.18 while dpkg -s outputs 3.8.4 as the version number. Any idea why it is working for me? Will installing the updated package break anything as its already working? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xdiagnose in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1483276 Title: Unable to launch xdiagnose through the Activities Overview in the normal way To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell/+bug/1483276/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
