I.e. has anyone got a viable workaround for it (other than learn how
to set sudo up.)
you'll need sudo-trinity instead of sudo.
Thanks Nic, but I don't want to have to use sudo at all if I can avoid it.
I want to use su with a gui, which means kdesu since I am running Debian
and Trinity, and I am hoping that someone has a workaround that I can use
to do it.
If i remember right, kdesu is from KDE4, not trinity. Trinity comes with
kdesudo.
but if it's just wireshark, then you can write a wrapper script, create a
shortcut which calles the script using a terminal (for the root password),
something like this:
#!/bin/sh
xhost +localhost
su -c "DISPLAY=:0 wireshark &"
exit
