| Rarrikins | What's the standard way of running GUI programs as root? gksudo seems to not be installed by default. | 06:08 |
|---|---|---|
| Unit193 | `pkexec` and hope it has a policy file. | 06:09 |
| Rarrikins | It fails saying it can't connect to Mir (http://pastebin.com/R98dwxbV). | 06:11 |
| Rarrikins | Should I file a bug report? | 06:12 |
| Unit193 | See /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/com.ubuntu.pkexec.mousepad.policy for example. | 06:12 |
| Rarrikins | That exists. Do I need to edit it or create one for gnome-disks or something? | 06:17 |
| Unit193 | Right, and no that's mousepad's. So far I've just heard "use pkexec, it's better" with no real action plan or seemingly integration. You can either write one, or just install gksu. | 06:18 |
| Rarrikins | OK, thanks. | 06:18 |
| Unit193 | (IOW, I don't know. Writing one would work, so would going back to the old method.) | 06:19 |
| Unit193 | !pkexec | Not exactly the most useful | 06:19 |
| ubottu | Not exactly the most useful: pkexec is a PolicyKit tool that allows an authorized user to run (graphical) applications as another user, similar to !gksu. | 06:19 |

| dixie7z | hello all.... i'm trying to update xubuntu 14.04 lts to 16.04 lts but when I click upgrade, nothing happens... i also used sudo update-manager -d | 17:14 |
| dixie7z | and sudo apt-get update && sudo do-release-upgrade -d | 17:15 |
| r00tobo | dixie7z, I prefer a clean install | 17:27 |
| dixie7z | I changed sources.list to xenial. now it works | 17:30 |
| r00tobo | ok, good ;) | 17:31 |
| dixie7z | r00tobo, i have too much programs installed... i don't want to install everything again | 17:32 |
| r00tobo | dixie7z, do you have any hooked up PPAs ? | 17:33 |
| dixie7z | yes | 17:33 |
| r00tobo | how many? | 17:34 |
| r00tobo | 3 - 4 - 10 ? | 17:34 |
| dixie7z | 5 | 17:34 |
| dixie7z | why | 17:34 |
| r00tobo | then go to their page and make sure they are supporting xenial | 17:34 |
| dixie7z | oh ok... well... the upgrade process already started... if somthing doesn't support it no big deal, i will fix that afterwards | 17:36 |
| dixie7z | my biggest problem is AMD drivers | 17:36 |
| dixie7z | r00tobo, i heard that something changed in 16.04 | 17:36 |
| dixie7z | i hope that that change doesn't break my system | 17:36 |
| r00tobo | maybe the systemvinit to systemctl | 17:40 |
| r00tobo | oh the AMD driver is no longer supported for a closed driver | 17:40 |
| xubuntu43w | по русски кто-нибудь понимает? | 19:44 |
| xubuntu43w | The program FreeCAD background color of the tooltip (light blue), and the font color (pale gray) merge with each other, which makes difficult to read tips. | 19:45 |
| xubuntu43w | In other programs the tips color black and white | 19:47 |
