Hi! :-)
Does someone know, how can I login as su (root)? I'm autologging in as normal user, and when I have to do administrative tasks (eg. configuring with yast), opensuse asking me, my pwd.
These days, I have to install some devices and their drivers, so I have to copy-paste files to restrictive directories. Not surprisingly, those options (eg. pasting files) are greyed-out and not functional. However, working with bash is always available. Once I'm giving my pwd (and returning to # mode), I can complete my work without any problems or pwd reconfirmations. I'm just wondering if there is a similar way, for working with graphical shell (either with Gnome (which I'm using) or any other), for copy-pasting. I had to do so much keyboarding from the DOS era! :-)
THANKS!!! Giorgos. :-)
I do not know if the gnome menu has this entry, but the KDE has System/File manager/File manager as root. This will ask you the root password and start konqueror as root. Again for KDE, you can use kdesu to invoke any program as root: $ kdesu -c <command name> I think there is a similar program for gnome as well, gnomesu. You can use it to launch nautilus as superuser.
