Hi, Of course, I have tried the calls in the following ways: a. root as root b. as other user using gksu c. as other user using sudo All trials were unsuccesfull.
No, my root file system (mounted over NFS) is not read-only - I am able to do the most of admin-stuff (e.g. installing apt-packages, running useradm, etc.) as well as user-specific configuration of gnome (/home is in the root file system). Only *-admin applications seem to have the problem.
