Re: [trinity-users] Re: "Start Job" - switching to svsvinit-devuan

[...] Also - one of those bugs - I cannot start gparted (or any gnome application) as root. I've tried tdesu and gksu. The Trinity sudo works okay for TDE programs, but the gksu always rejects my password, even though I am sure of the password. This is also a problem when I do a new installation. I can only get admin privileges by sudo or su when I am in a shell; and except for the shell, it's not until after I've installed the Trinity packages (especially the Trinity sudo packages) that I can do anything as root. It would be nice to be able to resize the root partition (assuming I won't lose information in the home partition ... but I've got a fresh backup, anyway). Otherwise, I will proceed with a system reinstallation at some point, and resize partitions then.

Thanks for any guidance here. I can generally do partitioning and system installations in my sleep (and often have done), but this problem with sudo (mentioned by myself and others elsewhere) is a pain in the *ma-hony*.
