Note all the examples below assume you have sudo enabled (the default if you left the root password prompts blank during installation) and that you're logged in as the initial user or another one set up with sudo privileges. Give them a go and post back if they throw up permissions errors. > 1. How do I use file manager with root privileges? The file manager in MATE is 'caja', so... There are two ways to achieve this: A) open up a terminal, and type: sudo caja or sudo caja "/path/to/required/directory" at the prompt, followed by enter. OR B) Install the package 'caja-gksu' sudo apt-get install caja-gksu log out and back in, and when you right-click a folder on the desktop or in the file manager you should see an option to open it as root. > 2. How do I manually (no network physically available) reset the clock? At a terminal: sudo date MMDDhhmmCCYY that's MMonth DDay, hhour, mminute, CCentury, YYear For example, to set the time and date to 15:00 on 1st February 2014: sudo date 020115002014 See man date for further details and options.
