Replace gksudo with sudo #188

Closed cosmicog closed 4 years ago

cosmicog commented 4 years ago

Hey, I used this repository directly in my 18.04 test pc and replacing gksudo with sudo allows it to use since gksu is not available anymore.

But this still won't work with Wayland.

cosmicog commented 4 years ago

I remember using it with unity on 18.04 with sudo ./numix-folders. Also right now, in an lxde desktop environment (+kde libs, packages) I'm able to use it.

I never used Wayland but after googling, I think that it is KDE based something. I'm bored of KDE bugs, crashes and the low-performance-on-a-high-standard-machine. This is my LXDE desktop with dolphin, using numix folders: 2019-10-23-225246_3840x1080_scrot

Wayland isn't a desktop environment like KDE, it's a display server like X11. It underpins most modern desktops at this point so implementing a fix which won't work on Wayland systems is a big no go. The correct solution is pkexec but none of us have got around to implementing it yet.

Okay I'll fix it for Wayland and send a new PR later on. Mothts ago, also used on a Kubuntu 18.04 setup and when I was trying to fix its errors, I remember using pkexec. I'm just not sure if Wayland was enabled in the setup. If it aims to replace Xorg, then probably I wasn't using it instead of the stable Xorg.
