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

sudo emelfm

should 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.

"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...

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.
