Hi! :-) Does somebody know, how can I launch nautilus, as su? I'm launching nautilus, as a normal user, and not surprisingly, copy-pasting is greyed out at many folders. OK, I'm always able to work with bash. I just wanted to avoid the so much keyboarding . :-) (I have installed here the latest stable version of opensuse (with gnome desktop), but I couldn't found this option). THANKS!!! Giorgos. :-)
Hi Giorgos, The following should do you just fine: $ su -c "nautilus --no-desktop --browser" I don't know whether opensuse doesn't give root access by default but if that won't work then using sudo instead should work: $ sudo nautilus --no-desktop --browser (For me, this method stops a GnomeUI warning about an authentication error against the session manager appearing too.)
