Title:
Nautilus should have a superuser mode
To manage notifications
For those interested, I created a simple Nautilus extension that adds
Open as Administrator and Edit as Administrator entries to the
context menu.
It's in the official Ubuntu and Debian repositories.
Just enable the backports repository and install the nautilus-admin package.
Of course, this
This feature would be very nice.
But Ubuntu should at least offer an option in the file manager(s) to open as
root like some other distros (plus a warning somewhere in the window that it's
dangerous, like Thunar and Mousepad do when running as root).
Right now, accessing/editing system files
This is a very difficult issue because it amounts to a fairly major
feature change underneath. Every access has to be wrapped by a
permissions check, followed by an authentication. Someone tried to patch
this into the file manager a while back, but the patch never got
approved.
The real bug is
In other words, yes, it's kind of sad this feature isn't in yet, but
this isn't the right place to comment. See the GNOME link at the top.
Just keep in mind these forums are made up of volunteers.

This one has always irritated the heck out of me, because I often don't
know in advance of starting Nautilus that I'm going to want to change
something in a root-owned file. But I've been resigned to it because I
imagined there was some insuperable difficulty in implementing it. And

there are many possible ways to fix this, some obviously easier than

being so we can keep track of it, and forward it to the upstream
Nautilus devs later and see what they think.
I think a simple solution would be to add an

I can't believe this hasn't been implemented yet. Are we trying to keep

Hey guys,
This bug is linked to other upstream bug reports, which means Ubuntu
has (rightly) passed this onto the developers of Nautilus. Once it's
implemented upstream, Ubuntu will include it in a new release, and other
distributions will get this new feature in their new releases as well.

psylem: that may be so. BUT This bug was filed because it's an usability
issue. That doesn't go away with nautilus-gksu. You can't expect the
user to know of the package. It's not installed by default. Let's say
you'd have to install a package to copy a file. Not a good workflow.
Now if it were

I have personally heard people complain about this. Running nautilus in
super user mode is bad, but whenever a user wants to perform a forbidden
operation he should have the option of typing the root password (after
seeing a proper warning).

Isn't there a package which installs advanced nautilus scripts (I did it
through Automatix). Once installed, you can right click within the
nautilus window and there is an option Scripts root-nautilus-here.
Then you can do some of the tasks which require you to be a sudo or a
root user. I have
Open a terminal window
cd /home/user/.Trash

Agreed.
Nautilus should have a supermode that doesn't require you to go to
terminal and type in gksudo nautilus. When doing something that requires
permission, it should just ask you for password and allow you to
continue.
