Another idea is, when the user tries to write to protected folders, it says something like :
"This(these) is(are) system folder(s or files), and it(they) has(have) been protected to ensure that your computer will operate safely. Do you wish to write to this folder anyways ? " [Cancel] [Yes (field for administration password)] Another option would be "do you wish to temporarily disable this protection ? " - so the user can execute several operations on protected folders. -- Nautilus should have a superuser mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/12154 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
