gksudo

[nikkiwikki]

hi all,
I jus managed to install Dapper Drake on my laptop took me a while, but I finally got installed. I am having problems now with the gksudo password. I was wondering if it is the same as a my Root password. I am not too too sure why I am getting this now. Can someone explain to me. Thank you

hi nikki

short answer: most likely it is your user password.

Re: gksudo

It's kdesu in KDE. gksudo is a Gnome thing.

For example, instead of

gksudo nautilus

, you'd use

kdesu konqueror

Re: gksudo

yes, it's kdesu in Kubuntu. The password is your user password, not the root one.

cheers
