Here's a strange one: several commands in the Control Centre won't work unless I do sudo in a terminal first.
If I try to run some commands without running sudo first, I see sudo appear at the top of conky's list of processes, then disappear, and nothing happens. If I run sudo, then the command runs properly. It seems that it can be any command with sudo, even something as trivial as sudo ls. Doing su - doesn't work.
Here are some affected commands:
Maintenance > Network Assistant
System > Set Time & Date
System > Toggle Firewall On/Off
Software > Manage Packages
Presumably the system remembers my password if I run sudo first.
Other commands seem to work whether I do sudo or not, and some don't work at all even if I do sudo. I assume you're still working on the commands that don't work, but if not, I can post a list.
