sudo graphically?
Is there a way to sudo a command in Konqueror? For example, let's say I try to drag some files from my home directory to a directory that can only been written to by the root...normally I just get permission denied. But...if I was to type "sudo cp _____" then I could do it. Is there a way to do a similar thing without using the console but graphically instead?
If your answer is "why don't you just do it in the console?" then my answer is "because I'm curious if I can use Konqueror to do it :) Thanks for any help! |
Well if you eant to get a litltle bit funky you could
export the root's Konqueror to you desktop? |
I was hoping there was a way to not have to restart the konqueror session.
|
Let me explain.
open Kterm or xerm or rxvt. $ xhost +127.0.0.1 $ su - # export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 #Konqueror & Now you shold have a KDE filemangler with root prev. Yeah, I know this exactly what your looking for , but It come in handy sometimes. |
Okay, thanks for that, I'll have to check it out :)

One note: That you can export a display from any box on the network you have access to? There is a why to do it
with ssh but I don't the command in from of me? |
