Gparted not starting from desktop menu in TC10

[Rich]

The desktop file for  gparted  in  TC10  looks like this:

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ cat /usr/local/share/applications/gparted.desktop | grep Exec
Exec= /usr/local/sbin/gparted %f
tc@box:~$ As a result, all you get is a popup saying you need root privileges to run gparted. It should look like this:

Code: [Select]

Exec=sudo /usr/local/sbin/gparted %f
I have another issue with  gparted  described here:

Since you can easily destroy data with gparted, it was done like that deliberately to encourage users to think before proceeding.

Hi Juanito
OK, no problem. I fixed it at my end.

If someone knows what gparted is, he is aware what consequences are.

Hi neonix
If someone truly understands what gparted is, they will be aware of the potential dangers.

If someone does not truly understand what gparted is, they would only view it as a way to
make changes to partitions and not be aware of possible consequences.
