[Bug 959279] [NEW] broken sudo/gksudo from unity guest session

[melchiaros]

Public bug reported:

I am on Ubuntu12.04 64bit updated to 19.3.2012.

 In a unity 2D guest session a terminal is not accepting for gksudo the
correct(proven!)passphrase for sudoer.

It is alway reproducible.

Also apport is affected of that (here for the option of adding the
sudoer file).

Software center accept the sudoer phasphrase.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This also affecting xorg. The screen whent black in background when the
phasphrase box pops up. Only the box itself is visible.
