How to launch a program with sudo
privilege in Unity? I am using Ubuntu 11.04.
I used this command but it doesn't really work:
sudo synaptic
I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but you can try gksu synaptic
.
gksu synaptic
should solve you problem. It will display a graphical password-box.

Alternatively, use the terminal which you can - as i do - keep in the unity starter. I belive its a thing of taste whether you use gksu or the terminal.
