[ubuntu-za] FW: Books

[Craig A. Adams]

Hi Andre,

Ok,

"gksudo" is the graphical equivalent of the "sudo" command for Gnome and
you are running KDE. I forget off hand what the KDE equivalent is but
you should be able to adjust the shortcut to this.

Try opening a terminal and issuing "sudo wifi-radar". 

Kindest Regards

Craig A. Adams
