Title:
gksu nautilus will not display icons correctly or at all
To manage
What happens if you use gksudo instead of gksu? (Officially, there is no
difference between gksu and gksudo, but in fact there is a subtle
difference.)
Also, if you use sudo, you should use -H, as:
sudo -H nautilus

Bugs,
In terminal entering sudo -s, entering password and then nautilus is the
work around I have read.
It also does not give any errors like gksu nautilus does.

Nautilus is completly dysfuntional , gksu or no gksu. From the Unity
desktop, it will appear and then suddenly disappear and then lock up on
Home directory.

Is this just an ubuntu policy. Since Debian still have this package and
using gksu nautilus has been accepted as normal for years.

gksu
Ah. No disrespect intended but we've all been lucky for 5 years or more
without issue. Is this a gnome 3 gtk3 problem. Could you explain what
would happen of we got unlucky. Thanks.
Also what is the alternative to gksu nautilus.

no I can't explain, out of the fact that dbus is used in an increasing
way by GTK,GNOME and that things running under gksu don't have access to
your user bus. Upstream also reply to bugs about running nautilus under
sudo with don't do that which I'm just relying here

the alternative ... if you regularly need to handle files out of user
dir maybe create an admin account having the right to do that, log
properly into a session for that user which will have a proper setup and
dbus bus and then use nautilus

Sabastien, many thanks for explaining. What about the live cd case where
its use is invaluable.

Title:
gksu nautilus will not display icons
not sure I understand, I never had to use nautilus under gksu nor know
anyone who did, you clearly seem to like doing that and it can be useful
at time but that's not a common workflow, nor something working on the
liveCD (nautilus-gksu is not installed there) out of the box

File recovery is one use. http://askubuntu.com/questions/78691

But if you google gksu nautilus live cd you will see the scale of it.
There are masses of tutorials that recommend its use. I just assumed all
these years that it was normal work flow.

I am of the same opinion with philinux regarding gksu nautilus.
Also, I very often clean folders and files or edit them with gksu nautilus
and then with gedit.
Believe me, it is a useuful command.
Anyway we need an explanation why this is not working anymore.
Downgrading to the version 3.5.2
that discussion is being sidetracked:
- that was no broken on purpose
- that was not broken by Ubuntu but like by upstream changes
- we have no nautilus hackers on launchpad
- upstream doesn't support the gksu use
what is needed is not an explanation is to find a nautilus hacker or
contributor
