Thank you very much for your answer! I have tried to use gksudo and it works without the Terminal window. Anyway, I the problem is that gksudo, for some reason, does not accept any parameter. For example, the "mkfs.vfat -n "Drive" -I /dev/sdf1" command needs those arguments that can't be passed through gksudo.
Is there a way to solve this issue and send arguments to gksudo? Or, alternatively, is there a way to get and keep root permissions with gksudo, just like "sudo -s" does? Thank you 2013/5/2 Arnel A.
