[Bug 1312159] Re: ** (gksu:xxxx): CRITICAL **: fcntl error

 

apport information

** Tags added: apport-collected trusty

** Description changed:

  I chaneged my system from 13.10 to 14.04 by clean install. I got
  kerneloops on 14.04 beta 2 so I went back to 13.10.
  
  To try to new kernel on 14.04 I installed it yesterday. After the clean
  install and run updates my first task was to modify the grub and fstab.
  I'm using for it the gksu gedit command. Now I got error message and
  gedit not opened. For example:
  
  barricade@Barricade:~$ gksu gedit /etc/fstab
  
  (gksu:4983): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to set text from markup due to error
  parsing markup: Error on line 1 char 86: Element 'b' was closed, but the
  currently open element is 'big'
  
  ** (gksu:4983): CRITICAL **: fcntl error
  
  ** (gksu:4983): WARNING **: Lock taken by pid: -1. Exiting.
  
  We talked about it on hungarian ubuntu forum and got same message from
  gksu other user too. I tryed to purge and reinstall the gksu but it not
  solved the problem. The sudo nano /etc/fstab and sudo gedit /etc/fstab
  commands working well.
  
  I tryed reinstall all system but the gksu problem is occured again.
