| Arfed | hi - I found a QA issue with ubuntu 17.10, that affects basic use of the OS. it seems to be a longstanding issue going back 4 years. am I able to get someone here to repro it, and make sure it gets fixed? | 00:43 |
|---|---|---|
| Arfed | the issue is that I can't run gedit from a terminal at all - this is preventing me from making changes to files that need root access | 00:44 |
| Arfed | repro is this (I think VMWare is important to this): 1: Get 17.10, 2: Install into a VM in VMWare Workstation, 3: Open a terminal. 4: Try to run gedit, or sudo gedit | 00:45 |
| Arfed | there is a suggested fix here - but it's not acceptable quality, to have to mess around with environment variables to try and fix this: | 00:46 |
| Arfed | https://askubuntu.com/questions/414785/cant-open-gedit-as-root | 00:46 |
| Arfed | that above link actually is not helpful for resolving my issue actually | 00:50 |
