[Bug 1172095] Re: gksu is on live cd but not being installed

[Doug McMahon]

No - the intent of this bug is that with no replacement (pkexec) in
place for many uses that gksu *should* be installed.

It's been mentioned elsewhere that on 32bit installing gksu gives sudo
mode, haven't tried, on 64 bit it definitely is su

** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 1172176
   ubiquity should use pkexec instead of deprecated gksudo

Title:
  gksu is on live cd but not being installed

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  So post install if a user uses gksudo <whatever> they'll be prompted
  to install gksu. That's great & all but many users will be unaware
  that gksu defaults to "su" & will be looking for the root password
  which isn't what the user will know or expect.

  If you have pkexec replacements for common uses great though I don't
  see as yet... (gedit, nautilus, gdebi, ect.
