command line - Can I open a file manager as root without using terminal in xubuntu - Ask Ubuntu


i trying launch file manager root in panel error when put sudo in front of command exo-open --launch filemanager returns error. however, if put same command in xfce terminal (not emulator) launch file manager root , works. confused

you can use gksu launching gui applications root.

install gksu terminal:

sudo apt install gksu 

after installed, can launch without terminal pressing alt+f2 , typing in:

gksu thunar 

thunar default file manager in xubuntu.

you can use pkexec launch. same above , change gksu pkexec.

pkexec thunar 

hope helps!
