Well, BL 4.5 had its issues, too, actually, but I was able to live with them.
I guess, the biggest one in BL 5 (to me, at least) is that it's based on Ubuntu 18.04, where they moved from gksu to pkexec.
All the apps or starters which used to work with gksu, need to be edited in order to work with pkexec, now.
This, I think, makes some things more difficult.
For me, it's quite hard to get used to that, mainly because I wasn't able to find any step-by-step guide, so far, telling me how this is done.
As for now, there are six issues I need to fix:
- I cannot use eSudo, when started from the menu or from Engage.
Just thinking, could this also be caused by the gksu/pkexec issue, somehow?
- I cannot install .DEB's, probably, because of pkexec.
- I need a guide for Samba (well, I guess, this affects more Xubuntu 18.04.2 which I also need to configure, after I'm done with Bodhi).
- With Skype installed, it's annoying me with a query about some keyring password.
I was having this issue in BL 4.5, too, but I was able to fix it. I just don't remember, how.
Btw., Skype on BL 5 shows two small tray icons next to each other.
- Some apps, especially when based on JAVA, appear with a tray icon that's too small to fit in the tray (in BL 4.5 and BL 5).
- With HPLIP installed (in BL 4.5 and BL 5), the HP tray icon keeps on jumping from the tray to the upper left corner of the screen, when I close some apps (mainly JAVA based ones).
EDIT:
Forget about the eSudo issue!
I just found out, how it works in BL 5.0.
Let me add, if you want to have it in the Menu you first have to edit its launcher in
Code:
/usr/share/applications/esudo.desktop
The "NoDisplay" entry is most likely set to "true", so change it to "false" (without the "", of course).
Now here's how eSudo works:
Open it from the Menu or Engage (if is's installed),
enter your password into the according field and (this is the crucial step!) hit the Enter key.
eSudo will not be closed by that action.
After that, you will be able to enter whatever command you like.
Hit the Enter key again, that's it!
