vishjbicha: why is gksu nautilus better than gksudo nautilus ? (curious)08:22
vish(noticed it in your docs update)08:23
jbichaum, I read the man page and gksu seemed smarter08:25
jbichait is at least shhorter08:25
jbichashorter08:25
vishjbicha: hmm, the only benefit i see is that gksu offers a prompt if we dont specify a command08:34
vishbut we do mention nautilus here..08:35
jbichavish: yeah they basically do the same thing, but one's shorter08:36
jbichavish: I'm actually a bit surprised you noticed the change since it's not been committed yet08:37
vish;)08:37
vishjbicha: shorter ;p , i think sudo is more preferable since the sudoers file and all08:38
jbichavish: you mean you think they don't do the same thing?08:38
vishjbicha: /etc/sudoers is used by sudo, but i dont think su user it, a lot of options are set there..08:39
vishs/user/users08:40
visherr, uses*08:40
micahgjbicha: we should be using gksudo since we don't encourage running as root08:40
jbichabut sudo is root and su uses /etc/sudoers08:41
vishsu is root but sudo can specify which users can be root08:43
micahgsudo runs a single command as root, su leaves you in a root shell08:43
jbichamicahg: do you agree that gksudo is better?08:44
jbichahttp://askubuntu.com/questions/21033/what-is-the-difference-between-gksudo-and-gksu08:46
micahgyeah, it seems like I have the gconf key set, idk if that's the default or not though, with that key set, there's no practical difference unless you use other flags08:48
micahgso, while practically there is no difference, people might wonder about it08:50
vishhmm, looks like we dont have the package gksudo??!! but there is kdesudo09:01
vishmaybe the symlink is because it aint packaged? /me looks deeper09:02
micahgvish: it's all provided by gksu09:02
vishoh!09:02
micahgvish: both backends are provided by libgksu09:03
micahgerr, both backends can be used by libgksu09:03
vishyea, seems so.09:03
vishah ha! while it is a symlink, they do different things09:08
vishgksu != gksudp09:08
vishgksudo*09:08
vishyea, the gconf set as sudo seems to be the default.. i have the same thing here..09:11
micahgvish: yeah, which makes them effectively equal by default09:12
vish yea, equal but it is not really su , hence the users will wonder as you say :D09:13
