[06:08] What's the standard way of running GUI programs as root? gksudo seems to not be installed by default. [06:09] `pkexec` and hope it has a policy file. [06:11] It fails saying it can't connect to Mir (http://pastebin.com/R98dwxbV). [06:12] Should I file a bug report? [06:12] See /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/com.ubuntu.pkexec.mousepad.policy for example. [06:17] That exists. Do I need to edit it or create one for gnome-disks or something? [06:18] 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] OK, thanks. [06:19] (IOW, I don't know. Writing one would work, so would going back to the old method.) [06:19] !pkexec | Not exactly the most useful [06:19] 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. === malysps is now known as Spass [11:16] Hi, I fired up the livecd of the latest version and it loaded but when I plugged in a USB stick it did not mount.
