[Novalug] Re: nautilus as root

[Igor Birman]

What is a gui terminal?  Is that just the regular terminal from the menu or something else?  You mean open a terminal from within the gui as opposed to Alt-F1?  If so, I tried sudo nautilus and it did not work.

I have never heard of gksudo before either - anyone understand the difference between it and sudo?  I am not seeing much through google..

As I wrote earlier, alt-f2, then gksudo nautilus works, but I would like to know how this is different from the above.

Thanks!
Igor
