Title:
No way to "open" files/directories with administrative rights in
Nautilus
Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:
New
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Absence of "Run As" in Nautilus makes it difficult to do many tasks
especially for newbies. nautilus-gksu allows to "open" files with
administrative rights but it's not installed initially. The easiest way to
"open" files with administrative rights without nautilus-gksu is to run sudo
nautilus from the console. However:
1) How does a newbie know that he/she should run sudo nautilus ?
2) I spent a lot of time looking for "Run As" or some other way to do
administrative open through the menu.
3) Typically I: 1) find the file in the tree, 2) try to open it, 3) get an
error, 4) open a terminal, 5) sudo nautilus, 6) find the file in the tree again
and open it. It feels annoying.
4) A newbie could install nautilus-gksu ? How does he/she find that out ?
