[Aradalf]

How do you run PCManFM in superuser mode in LXDE?

[skyhawk]

Configure Your LXDesktop (task bar) > Control Center > System > File Manager Superuser Mode

Ok, thanks. Any way to add that to the file tools menu in the start menu, or create a shortcut to it on my desktop?

To create a shortcut use as command

Code: [Select]

gksu pcmanfm
Not sure how to add it - but the config files are under /home/user/.config .

with PCManFM open  >> Tools >> 'open current folder as root'    That's not available?

Right click your desktop. Choose New > Blank file. When the dialog opens, enter the name

pcmanfm-root.desktop

and click OK.

Open the file with leafpad and enter the following (use copy and paste)

Code: [Select]

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Icon=system-file-manager
Name=PCManFM Super User
Comment=Browse the file system and manage the files
Categories=FileManager;FileManager;X-MandrivaLinux-System-FileTools;
Exec=gksu -l pcmanfm /root
StartupNotify=truegksu pcmanfm /root
Terminal=false
MimeType=x-directory/normal;inode/directory;
Encoding=UTF-8
X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.11
Save and exit. This will create an icon on your desktop.
To create a menu entry, copy the file into /usr/share/applications. This must be done as root > lxdecc > System tab > File Manager Superuser. Copy the file on your desktop and paste it into the applications directory.
