scarecrow Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 So far in 2009.0 I haven't found a way to edit a file after SU'ing to root. Simply type "mc" If you get used to that thing, you will NEVER use anything else for editing config files or managing files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkerr82508 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 If you really need a GUI file manager, then dolphin is adequate for all that you need to do in root mode. "kdesu dolphin" will launch it in root mode, provided that you've made kdesu available, as described in an earlier post. Another alternative is krusader. If you install that, it sets up a menu entry for root mode, but beware of this bug: https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=44721 Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVDowning Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 Another alternative used to be konqueror (before 2009.0) which is what I had been using the last couple of years. Quite simple to just double click on the file you want to edit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
