issue with permission
 

c, i'd really like to work as root under graphical mode.
for example, i want to create files, delete files, etc, etc, under /usr/bin/ or whatever,
but the problem is, i cannot use root to access the folder

for example, in terminal, under normal user, i type in
nautilus /usr/bin/
and it opens up the folder in graphical mode, however, i am not under root so i cannot create files or whatever
BUT
if i go in terminal and 'su' to root, and then type it:
nautilus /usr/bin/
it says command not found
( i am using kde, but i just like using nautilus)

also this happens with kedit and kwrite
under normal user, i can kedit a file, but i just cannot save to it; however, under root, kedit command gives me a 'command not found'

what should i do?
i am using suse9 pro with kde 3.1


p.s. i've used mandrake 9.2 before, and i can use kedit, nautilus, etc under root, howcome not with suse?

try "su -"

i dunno what 'su -' does but when i reach root with that command, and type in
nautilus
it says (nautilus:2462): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

when i type in
kedit
it says -bash: kedit: command not found

lil help plz? thx

also when i type in
konqueror /usr/whatever

it says "konqueror: cannot connect to X server"

Its very dangerous to run GUI as root. Its like running Win98 and running programs in it. One small accident and your system will be hosed. I suggest you learn bash commands. Its a lot simpler than you think.

alright, thx

oh, and what do u mean its like running win98 and running programs on it? do u mean running graphical mode under root is very unstable and can freeze a lot?
