Bug Description
Binary package hint: luckybackup
Upstream dev sent the following to the MOTU list:
I am the developer of luckybackup
(http://
universe repo (http://
for that :)
The application uses 2 .desktop files.
One of them is for super-user execution.
Since your package is a "copy" (I do not mean it in a bad way, please do not
missunderstand this) from the Debian repo, there seems to be a problem with
it.
Could you please do your magic tricks and patch the file:
menu/luckybacku
so that the following line:
Exec=su-to-root -X -c /usr/bin/
becomes
Exec=gksu /usr/bin/
