Merry Christmas list members, I am running Fluxbox windowmanager with Roxfiler filemanager (using a panel launcher for common apps) and my question is, how can I configure something like synaptic apt-get to run from a icon on the panel as a user?
Apt-get requires root priv's to run. The icon I have now just attempts to run /usr/sbin/synaptic, which I receive a error msg stating only root can run synaptic. MandrakeUpdate requires root priv's for example, and when it is run as a user, it prompts me for the root password. Is there a script (which I wouldn't know how to create) or a link or... which I could do in order for synaptic to run? I checked my menus to see what was configured for synaptic to run, and it shows for the command to run as; kdesu /user/sbin/synaptic which does not work for the icon I created on my panel. TIA for any help or ideas Steve -- Linux user #280097 Machine #162480 http://counter.li.org
