Sudoing root
I'm switching from Ubuntu to Xubuntu, but I'm not there yet. I have a question:
The main Ubuntu site says to not use sudo for running graphical programs as root. <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo>: This says to use gksudu or kdesudo; is either of these available in xubuntu, or is there some other way to get this right? -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD -- xubuntu-users mailing list xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users |

You can also create a Thunar custom action: /usr/bin/gksudo leafpad %f, similar to Nautilus.

Pardon my ignorance, but I could not even tell you what Thunar and Nautilus are, though I know I've seen the name Nautilus many times. Just not in my mental toolkit.

This would make things much easier... Never heard of it. I don't chat much, and not at all recently, but when I have, I've used Pidgin on ICU and AIM mostly -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD -- xubuntu-users mailing list xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users |

They are the file managers for Xfce and Gnome, respectively. It's not surprising that you're unfamiliar with the proper names, they tend to just be called "File Manager" in their respective environments :) -- Elizabeth Krumbach // Lyz // pleia2 http://www.princessleia.com -- xubuntu-users mailing list xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users |
