Hi,I realise that this will probably fall into the 'doh' category but can anyone help with the syntax required to add a "emelFM as root" entry to the fluxbox menu? Thanks, Geoff Posted by cbagger01 on June 07 2004,02:14
sudo emelfmshould do it. Actually, having a built-in menu item called "Emelfm - Root Access" similar to the "Xterminal - Root Access" would be cool. If he agrees, maybe John could add this to the next version of DSL. Good Luck. Posted by ke4nt1 on June 07 2004,02:35
"sudo emelfm" works fine from the command line ...But I tried to add that to the /.fluxbox/menu file ... It didn't work for me ... seems like it should ... Ex: "[exec] (Root emelFM) {sudo emelfm}" gave me a non-root emelfm. Curious... ke4nt Posted by gjhicks on June 07 2004,07:58
Hi,I also tried the {sudo emelfm} approach and got a "normal" file browser. I must now admit that I saw this issue solved a while ago but have since re-installed DSL (without making a note of the syntax)! All I remember is that it had "-e xxx" in the command. Regards, Geoff.

Maybe this one will work better:sudo -u root emelfm I dunno. Posted by RoGuE_StreaK on June 07 2004,21:53
Fairly sure when I added it to my 6.3 HD install I just used "sudo emelfm"... though I think my personalised liveCD menu didn't show up properly? I'll check into it...Also useful is sudo scite - so you can edit scripts etc created as root, without having to mess about with permissions... Speaking of which, how about changing the default text editor of emelfm? Last I tried it's still trying to use nedit, which hasn't existed for a while? |
