addr Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 How do I make one of these in Gnome? I can do this in KDE with 'kdesu konqueror' as the command line but 'gnomesu nautilus' doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2 Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 but 'gnomesu nautilus' doesn't work. try 'gksu nautilus' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilia_kr Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 or become root and type "nautilus" hit enter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 alt+F2 plus "gksu nautilus" is the cleanest way. Calling an X application from a root terminal will sometimes fail, depending on the way your x-server is configured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rickst29 Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Slightly OT, since you're looking for Nautilus. But on KDE I really like Krusader, which the Nautilus Developers themselves feel to have been the "original" high-quality double-pane file manager on a Linux desktop. (Konqueror IMO is OK for merely browsing files, but it's totally inadequate for MANIPULATING files/folders.) I DON'T like that KDE seems to be dumping Krusader it for something new in KDE4. Download the RPM, give it a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Krusader is great (I use it all the time), but it has no real chances becoming an official KDE filemanager as long as it does not support thumbnails. There are some thoughts about making Dolphin the default KDE4 filemanager, but not Krusader. Still, I love that filemanager. Next best available after Midnight Commander (of course!).

hq197 Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Asalamu aleikum Thanks a million for the very helpful tips. I created menu items as follows kdesu kfmclient openProfile filemanagement gksu nautilus kdesu (the last one to open ANY app as root: i often find k3b wants this) I followed these users' tips about opening konqueror faster, but i found it didn't seem to work on my system.

The whole point of two pane file managers is displaying file lists. How could you display thumbnails in a file lists without a, displaying miniature images b, displaying looooooooong lists? Besides generating thumbnails sometimes takes a of time and it slows the system down. Anyway I have no problem Krusader not being the default file manager as long as it exists.

ramfree17 Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Krusader is great (I use it all the time) +1 for Krusader. this is my main filemanager now even though i am using either fluxbox or enlightenment as my wm. it provides the right mix of eyecandy and functionality. emelfm/emelfm2 is also nice if on a really old system. kdesu kfmclient openProfile filemanagement gksu nautilus kdesu (the last one to open ANY app as root: i often find k3b wants this) only at first run, then it will setup the proper permissions for your user(s). if you keep on logging in as root to use your disc writers then something might be wrong. ciao!

viking777 Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Krusader is light years ahead of any other file manager that exists. Whenever I install a new distro it is the first thing I add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
