Ubuntu root mode icon

[Robby]

I used Kubuntu for a while, and used Krusader almost exclusivly. But, do to the age of my computer I decided to change to a lighter weight version of Ubuntu. The first thing I noticed however is that there is no icon to start root mode, without first starting regular mode. I use regular mode for most things, but there are a few things I know I'll have to be root before I can do them. So I would like to set up an icon to start Krusader in root mode, just like I did in Kubuntu. I thought about just making a custom launcher, but couldn't figure out exactly how to list the command. I found a post on a forum somewhere that said to put { "kdesu " Krusader} as the command, (space in quotation marks intentional). However that wouldn't do anything, the "busy" signal went around in a circle for a minute and quit, without starting Krusader. Is there a way to create the root mode icon in regular Ubuntu? Thanks

Hi,

I cannot check by myself, but it might happen that the command for Debian derivatives is kdesudo, not kdesu. Can you test it from Terminal?

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Actually I've tried both kdesu and kdesudo, and just sudo which is Ubuntu default and they all work. If I open a regular session of krusader, then click on start in root mode, any of the three will provide root status, that's not the problem. Root mode will open just fine, if I open a non-root session then open a root session, then I can go back and close the non-root window. I'm looking for a way to open a root-mode session without opening a non-root session the way I did in Kubuntu. Thanks for your reply.

Hello,

If you run `kdesu krusader` it will open Krusader as root. You can
achieve the same effect with `gksudo krusader` also.
