Absence of "Run As" in Nautilus makes it difficult to do many tasks especially for newbies. nautilus-gksu allows to "open" files with administrative rights but it's not installed initially. The easiest way "open" files with administrative rights without nautilus-gksu is to run sudo nautilus from the console. However:
1) How does a newbie know that he/she should run sudo nautilus ?
2) I spent a lot of time looking for "Run As" or some other way to do administrative open though the menu.
3) Typically I: 1) find the file in the tree, 2) try to open it, 3) get an error, 4) open a terminal, 5) sudo nautilus, 6) find the file in the tree again and open it. It feels annoying.
4) A newbie could install nautilus-gksu ? How does he/she find that out ? |
