Hi there
For 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

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.

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.....

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
Code Sample
sudo su -c emelfm

and the other one I have (a carry-over from an older home directory) is
Code Sample
sudo /bin/bash -c emelfm


It seems to me that both *should* work, but I'm not sure why the second one runs bash.
