This feature would be very nice. But Ubuntu should at least offer an option in the file manager(s) to "open as root" like some other distros (plus a warning somewhere in the window that it's dangerous, like Thunar and Mousepad do when running as root).
Right now, accessing/editing system files requires using sudo in terminal (gksudo was removed so it's not an option) or adding custom actions/scripts to the file manager (and nautilus-gksu was also removed), which is not very user friendly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/12154 Title: Nautilus should have a superuser mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/12154/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
