How do I log into file browser with sudo?
 

I want to view my files with the filebrowser but as of right now I have to set permissions with the terminal and sudo. Is there anyway around this?

If you are the owner of the file, you should be able to change permission by right-clicking on it and choosing properties. Now, if you want to run the filebrowser (which I believe is nautilus?), then try "sudo nautilus --no-desktop". You should be able to browse your files as the super-user now :)

You should be able to view just about anything (except /etc/sudoers) as a regular user.

If you want to browse as root, try Alt-F2 and
