Hello
I am using since few days sublime text on macOS and Debian 9 at home and on Ubuntu 18 at work…
When I edit a file with root privileges under Debian 9 it asks me then to supply the root password…
Under Ubuntu 18 it doesn’t, but sublime freezes instead and I have to kill it…
Is there a workaround for this?
thx in advance
richard
There isn’t gksudo on Ubuntu
with pkexec I get (hopefully I understood you right ;o)
