[Bug 806291] Re: [needs-packaging] Boot-Repair

[Fabrice Coutadeur]

Hi,

If you already have a script that chooses the best 'su' command, why not
using it in the desktop file, then?  That would be better than having a
desktop file that don't run anything because you're missing rights,
IMHO.

and about the deletion, this is what I get when I run it in a chroot:

 cleanubiquitybefore

/usr/bin/cleanubiquitybefore: line 26: log_preparation: command not found

you can see the "cannot remove' part, with root directories... This is what let me guess there is something wrong somewhere.

thanks,
