Can't open gparted

elkrien

Hi.
Have problem with gparted application - can't open it from Menu, works only by terminal usig 'sudo gparted'
Any solutions?

you don't get this when you launch from menu?

No, I don't.
And I see that problem is bigger. I opened Balena Etcher and wanted to flash iso image to usb. When I was pressing flash nothing happened. I closed etcher, opened in by terminal using sudo etcher and now it works.
It looks that I have some problem with administation (root) rights.

The same user to be denied (a password login and app launch) at Menu level then suddenly have full access at terminal (cli) level is a strange one to me.
But it does sound like a privilege thing.
