    If your Ubuntu is new and you set it up right you should be able to 
use $sudo name-of-file and it should ask your password. Once done it 
will start the file. End of story.

    What is a menu launcher? You NEVER use $sudo su as this is VERY 
wrong! I think the menu has a permission and it opens all things with 
that permission.
