This bug seems to have been fixed. When I run xdiagnose from the dash, I get an authentication dialog asking for my password. I enter it, and xdiagnose is run.

Not working on my raring box. And even if it runs, I still feel that it is useless to end users.
Does not work on my installation of Ubuntu 13.04.
Does the file /usr/share/
entry for xdiagnose? If so, then xdiagnose is launched via [pkexec xdiagnose]
command which does not work with dash for me:
* When I launch xdiagnose using dash icon nothing happens.
* When I type [pkexec xdiagnose] into Alt-F2 dash prompt nothing happens too.
* But when I run this command from the terminal, it shows me a window asking
for a password and launches xdiagnose succesfully.
I think the "xdiagnose" icon is useless for the end user, since its usage appears to be very uncommon. Nearly any bug in X appears to be capable of being reported successfully without using this tool.
On the other hand, I have the same behaviour here as Anatoly under Ubuntu 13.04: xdiagnose only runs from the terminal.
Note that this bug, although the "xdiagnose" icon is removed, shall be fixed for the "Alf + F2" action.
Thank you
There is similar discussion about [pkexec <command>] in .desktop file and Alt-F2:
https:/
Possible solution is simple wrapper script like one of GParted (/usr/bin/
In case .desktop file will be removed it still solves problem with launching from dash.

I think we should hide xdiagnose icon by default. What do you think Alberto?
