gksudo gjig gives error

rng · 12-06-2012, 11:52 PM

I have Debian-testing with LXDE working well and updated. I have installed wajig and liking it very much. But when I try to start gjig with command 'gksudo gjig' I get following error:

Quote:

(gksudo:3605): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_str_has_prefix: assertion `str != NULL' failed

How can I correct this? Is there any other way to start gjig? Thanks for your help.

How about

Code:

sudo gjig

Or if you don't have the sudoers file configured then su to root then launch gjig.

Both with sudo and su methods the response is: "command not found"

I also had this problem, on debian Wheezy. Solution was to run

Code:

gksudo gjig &

, that got it to open

I had the same problem, SSH to my linux server from Windows 7, when I run gksudo the password prompt wouldn't let me type it in, although I could click the buttons.

I had to disable-grab for gksu in gconf-editor. Although this could bring up some security concerns.

Does anybody have a better solution?
