ianw1974 Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Have you tried running the menu editor as root, might work and worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas Posted October 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 i don't know how to run it as root Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 If you find the properties of the gnome menu editor icon to find out what the program is called, then open a terminal window, type su to get root privileges, and then type the name of the program, this will allow you to run it as root. I'm sure there's probably another way within the gui, but I don't use gnome so this is the only way I can think of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas Posted October 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 hmm, i found out what the process was called by doing ps aux in terminal, and then i ran it as root, and i get stuff like this...
