gksudo doesn't work on Ubuntu 12.04 - did work before

Question

I am running this command in a script:

    $ gksudo wminput -q -r 00:22:D7:E2:A0:18

However it just outputs the manual page. It seems like gksudo is taking the parameters meant to be taken by wminput.

Could anyone shed any light on this?

Cheers-SM.

Try this command instead:

gksudo 'wminput -q -r 00:22:D7:E2:A0:18'

	That didn't work for me. The script just skipped that line and ran the remaining commands. Thanks anyway. – shymega Apr 28 '12 at 13:02
	Sorry - my fault. Was using double-quotes instead of single quotes! Cheers for your answer which I've marked as the answer. – shymega Apr 28 '12 at 18:09
