I understand that some people may feel using a sudo/su nautilus can be a security risk, but I don't see it any worse than typing su in a terminal and then nautilus :-) I hadn't heard of gksu, will have to look at that one. Linux is more complicated than some other OS, just a matter of experience I guess. I've just installed the latest Hoary on a "spare" machine and can't get the X resolution to go higher then 640 x 480. Once I got 1280 x 1024, but I can't find anything obvious in xorg.conf. I'll try lower color depth (15 not 24) and see if that helps! What fun X is :-) <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">Kind Regards Russ <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.windsorcycles.com.au">http://www.windsorcycles.com.au</a> </pre> Ari Torhamo wrote: <blockquote cite="mid1106423941.3875.45.camel@localhost.localdomain" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">la, 2005-01-22 kello 16:38 +1100, Russell Cook kirjoitti: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Hi Ari, I do this now for those tasks that I need a file manager for and need root acces. I have a panel icon for a sudo Nautilus. Properties are Command "gksudo nautilus" It works for me. I use a different icon so I dont' mix it up with my user mode Nautilus and have had no trouble with it (other than Nautilus' frequent crashes in any mode!) A nice tool, but not as stable as I'd like. Kind Regards Russ </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> Hi Russ, Now I have a gksudo nautilus -icon too. I always tought that using sudo Nautilus is somehow more dangerous than sudoing in terminal. People talked about it with such a warning tone. BTW, do you have a special icon for gksudo nautilus. It would be nice to have one - maybe the normal Nautilus icon with somethin added to it - a scull? :-) I wanted to understand gksudo better and search for info in all possible places, but couldn't find anything really helpfull until I somewere saw the word gksu and realized that gksu - not gksudo - is the actual thing and it works with su and sudo. I understand now that Linux is a huge jungle and the only way to learn to live there is to start from the root level... what? What! Thanks for your help :-) Ari </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
