Emelfm and super user not starting......Forum: Apps Topic: Emelfm and super user not starting...... started by: blip Posted by blip on June 17 2007,07:59
Hi thereFor some reason Emelfm is not opening as Super User from the menu but will open as a normal user. Midnight commander is opening as both super user and normal user. Does anyone know a solution here? It has been working as root........ Thanks Posted by mikshaw on June 17 2007,14:06
First thing I'd do is run the command "sudo emelfm" from aterm and see if there are any error messages.Second, check /home/dsl/.fluxbox/menu, around line 65, to see if the file got messed up somehow. I can't think of anything else to suggest at the moment, until we get more info about the outcome of the above. Posted by blip on June 17 2007,15:08
Thanks a lot. I found if I right mouse click over the icon I can run it as superuser! Just not from the menu.Also I found when I switched to Fluxbox I could run it.. (I'm not running Fluxbox ). I've just tested sudo emelfm and that does run... I can switch to Fluxbox if necessary..... I Posted by mikshaw on June 18 2007,02:13
so there is perhaps a problem with your jwm configuration.I have two different .jwmrc files available at the moment. The one from DSL 3.2 uses this command
and the other one I have (a carry-over from an older home directory) is
It seems to me that both *should* work, but I'm not sure why the second one runs bash. |
