Subject: [trinity-users] Running GUI programs as root in 14
In the absence of kdesu, or tdesu, how do you run eg KWrite or Konqueror
as root in 14 on Debian? Even gksu seems still to be missing this time.
I'm not on a Debian setup right now, but depending of the distro, one of
the following command should work in Konsole: On PCLinuxOS (if I remember
well it works this way on Deb too):
su
(type your password)
(type the name of the app you want to launch as root) exit (to quit super-user mode)
On Ubuntu:
sudo ((type the name of the app you want to launch)
(type your password)
It is not the same command on every distro, but it is most of the time
combinations of su and sudo.
Anyway you should be able to find easily a package with a name similar to
tdesu or tdesudo in Synaptic (my preferred one) or any package manager app.
Or sometimes the name of the app has changed to trinity-(the name of the
app).
Ah! I'll look for that.
I have been in the habit of alt-F2 -> kdesu kwrite -> password -> Kwrite
launches.
Hope it helps!
I'll look for tdesu via aptitude. Thanks.
