As the original reporter of this bug after seeing the change on the wiki I have accepted this bugs state as invalid as I truly did not know about that change and yet keep getting more comments that do not read the wiki link in this bug report that mark it as invalid. I even went so far as to file a bug against the testcase for pcmanfm and have the run as root section removed. It was my mistake to not read the wiki I thought reading the release notes on the lxde blog for pcmanfm 1.2.0 would be enough at the time and were very detailed and long.
Also one other thing that shows the deliberate nature of removing the run as root option is something I didn't notice before but there is a notification if you do get it running as root is an exclamation mark shows up on the buttons warning you you are root. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1290101 Title: pcmanfm lost option to open current folder as root To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcmanfm/+bug/1290101/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
