When you want to execute a command as super user you do: sudo <command>
If you want to open a program as superuser (which, you rarely do): gksudo <command> for example, this opens the program "nvidia-settings" as super user: gksudo nvidia-settings Ubuntu uses "sudo", while other distros, like Fedora might be set to use "su", by default. check out this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo and this: https://help.ubuntu.com/ You should also check out: http://ubuntuforums.org/ Hope it helps.. -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
