Is there an easy way to start my File Manager in GUI as root? All I want to do is temporarily create/update some files and I want to do it through the GUI.
I am using a Raspberry Pi that is running Wheezy.
To open file manager in Linux Ubuntu using terminal, simply type in the following command “nautilus” in terminal. You may see few error messages in the terminal, ignore them all. As soon as you execute the “nautilus” command, the file manager will open.
The File Manager opens in your Home folder by default. In Ubuntu you can open your required folder by double-clicking it, or by choosing one of the options from the right-click menu: Open.
cd path-to-directory : The command followed by a path allows you to change into a specified directory (such as a directory named documents ). cd .. (two dots). The .. means “the parent directory” of your current directory, so you can use cd .. to go back (or up) one directory.
depends on your file manager. for example: sudo pcmanfm &>/dev/null &
In Raspbian (Raspberry Debian)
from terminal console:
gksu pcmanfm -> open file explorer as root
gksu leafpad -> open file editor as root
