According to our office Admin rules, developer’s machines should not have admin privilege, which i hated so much. so i decided to enable the sudo access with some work around found in web (booting with single user mode). and did it successfully but one strange behaviour which i don’t know why.
1) sudo option works in terminal (like if i install any application through terminal)
2) i cannot open synaptic package manager for which you need admin privilege with my user i am not able to open it.
so my question how my user is administrator while working with terminal but not with xwindow application (gnome or kde).
is console and gnome applications uses different sudoers file.?
Maybe I’m stating the obvious here, but did you remember to actually use sudo when launching synaptic? (see graphical sudo)
